steller find -- way to go. --get it graded .

 

[TheRockDoc]

Wow, I cannot believe the condition of that beauty. I think that this thread makes me about as jealous as anything I have seen on here. Well, right up there anyways. Amazing find man, congrats to you. I only started checking coinstars after I started reading this forum a few months ago and have never found anything other than a wheat penny two or three times.

GReat job, I love it.

Chris.

Absolutely, positively get that slabbed. It's at least XF, maybe AU. In that condition it must have come from a collection that got cashed in (or was stolen). Also, don't clean it or touch it or breathe on it; that could easily be a $1000 coin depending on the exact grade you get.

Show us the reverse too, it's a super example.

 

[LeoTrench-MAINE]

Where's the reverse pic?!?!?

I wanna see FSB!!!

That coin is the best I've ever seen for that type.

That may have been in someones dresser forever and ended up in a cash-in.

That is just TOO SWEET~~ Congratz!!

Great find! I wonder if it is worth getting graded?

Without a doubt. It is one of the finest examples that I've seen. Congratulations to Treeslayer!

 

[ImpurestStewart]

I'm gonna say it now...I am a noob but this seems like a banner find... Found in a freaking coinstar?? That is unreal lucky! I am jealous!

 

[Goldmanford]

 

[Saabman]

Nice find!!! WTG!!!!

 

[captainfwiffo]

It's got my nom for the banner. Value-wise, it's not far from 1916-D that's up there. I know people don't want to draw too much attention to roll-hunting, but this is a Coinstar find, not a bank-roll hunting find.

I checked all my mercs (28), after I read your post...I dont even have a 1942.

That is one sweet coin though! Nice job

 

[baddbluff]

Awesome find! It's definately the real deal. (It's the only coin I don't have in my Merc collection- got the 16d.) I would grade it AU from the look of the obverse. A $1000+ coin! Definately worth grading... Send it to PCGS (unless it gas something wrong w/reverse or cleaned.) Thats the best grading service.

Congrats!!!
