Nice find...If it's a 1910 S vs 1910 P, it's worth a bit more...
Nice early wheat, second year of issue.
NICE find! I wish sometimes that old coins could talk. The places they've been, the pockets they've been in... I bet that one could tell a tale!
Congratulations. This reminds me of a thread started in my early days on the forum.
Would You Bend Down to Pick Up a Penny
I actually got out of my truck at a stoplight the other day to pick up a penny. I knew it was a long light, heck, I could've probably walked over to the 7-11 and got a cup of coffee....Quote:

Of all the coins that I have, THAT is the one that I would most like to have a conversation with. I bet it has a ****ed interesting story. How in the world it went across an ocean to end up on the floor in the lumber department of a bigbox home improvement store after ~100 years has just GOTTA be a cool story.
wow thats crazy a german coin neat. cool coin i bet most coin buyers wont take it cause of the symbol=( on a latter note i have found many wheats in the ground with my metal detector=)Quote:
