Is this the DDO and would it grade. I would guess 35 or 40. Pictures are not the greatest. But I think there is enough there to make a determination. This would be my first cherry pick. I hope this works, this is my first time posting with the new software.

    Looks like a 500-dollar-bill to me! I think it grades better than 35/40 - more like 45/50, as long as there's no hidden damage.

    Congrats on an excellent introductory cherrypick!

    Thanks everyone. I have a Nikon D3100 camera and a Sigma 150 mm lens I need a copy stand and some lighting and the knowledge on how to use them. I've been going to a flea market looking for a copy stand, that's how I came across this coin. It was in a stack of 8 better grade common IH cents for 24 dollars. Hopefully by this fall I will have everything I need to post some nice pictures.

    How can I get the picture to post instead of the link.

    Nice find, BTW, that one is tough to cherrypick in that grade.

    That's a helluva coin for a FIRST cherrypick! I've never been able to find better than a VG for this variety in 25+ years of looking other than an AU that had been mounted and still had the solder in the reverse.
