Cool find!

A friend of mine was showing me his collection today and said that he found this roll hunting as a kid. I looked it up, but no luck, so I wanted to get some input on here.

Is that a 1949? Denver is the mint. But can't make out last numeral of date. 5-50 bucks
depending on circulation.

That last number is bigger than a 9. It looks like a backwards D but its the wrong size. The same guy has a penny that has 194 and that's it.

It is probably a 1940 D. When it was ejected from the press, the last number was caught and pushed into what you see today.

Sounds reasonable to me.

And why do you want to give false info like that?

False info??. That's a 1949 mess up, its priceless to a collector. It's atleast worth it's weight in copper. How about that.

I meant to say 5-50 cents. Not bucks btw. Typo on my part.
