markinswpa Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Well done guy. Congrats. A once in a lifetime find. I did dig a 1909 VDB a 1909 Ihp on one hunt in an old park, unfortunately no S mintmark on either. Good to see you're enjoying the Manticore. Good luck. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchel Just Google 1909 S VDB Wikipedia has a decent article about them. Ebay has plenty of them for sale so check there for current value. Price range in my 2020 Red Book coin value book is Good=$600 to MS63=$1,350. Some have sold for way more than that. The one I found....who knows what it is worth due to the corrosion damage. No doubt about its authenticity though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl c Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 wow what a great find 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry in Idaho Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Jeff, You have earned an award find so many dream of...but very few succeed. Yes you could find a diamond ring or gold nugget worth more in todays market, but the overall rarity of this highly desired 1 cent is Tops to many of us detectorists. In fact for me, it was the final coin to complete my Wheat Cent collection, minus error coins. Hats off to you my friend for an extremely desired Cent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
