Found this searching bank rolls for wheat cents, this and the 09 VDB and the holed cent were the three 'finds' of last year [I must have searched a lot of rolls, haven't searched any in 2016].

    Neat !

    Was it the end-coin? My uncle worked a register and found one similar. It was the end coin on the roll so it "fit" with the crimp messed up a little.

    It was **not **the end coin, it was a third in. I was shocked because I hadn't noticed any bulge in the roll.

    Of course it was late after work and I was so excited I ran upstairs to show the wife. She looked at me like I had two heads and went back to sleep. I was sooooooooooooooo excited to find it.

    Kewl! Was it a BU roll or a mixed roll? If a BU one, see if you can find a normal coin with matching die characteristics to prove the date!

    It was a mixed circulated roll, packed by one of those armored coin companies that count and supply coins to the banks.

    Not everyone shares my joy though.
    Sometimes I'm thrilled with the simple things.
    After all it's just a piece of metal.
