A few weeks ago I was at my brother's house and found this 1909-S Lincoln cent. Haven't been out much this year so this has been my best find this year.

That is a fantastic find, Jayson! In my 30+ years of detecting I have never found a 1909 wheat cent with an "S" mint mark. They are really scarce. I'm sure you already checked yours for the "VDB" on the reverse.

Congrats on the great find! :clapping:

Thanks. Yes, first thing I did was look for the "VDB", and it was not on this one.

That's a great find Jayson! We don't get many S mintmarks here in Illinois. Congrats and HH, Dave.
