According to my book, I have just found a penny worth $50.000.00!!!

I am SHOCKED, SHAKING and in DISBELIEF!!!

I did the best I can to take a pic to show you guys, and if you look, you will see the DOT!
Posting a few pics of it and what the book shows.

Copy from "The 2007 Charlton Coin guide"

I know this will have to be "authenticated" as there have only been 4 confirmed but, I'm crossing my fingers and praying that it is indeed an original!

Here's a closer view enlarged by PBK ~ thanks PBK! ;)

Fantastic!! Do not tell ANYONE where you found this. If it's real, the property owner will come after the $ so fast it will make your head spin. You have no obligation to say where you found it.

First of all Congrats!!!! I hope it's real.

If it's real, do not sell it to anyone. Find a good auction service to do it for you. You will probably get more than the 50K that the book says.

And again, Congrats on a great find.
