Did you find it in a roll? That would be amazing if it was real and you found it in a roll. I wonder if someone accidentally spent it.
It reminds me of a "tale" I heard years back about a guy in Idaho who allegedly had a 1943 copper penny in a dish with some other change on top of his fridge (cuz that's where I keep my 5 and 6 figure rarities - mixed in with pocket change on top of my fridge - why would anyone put them in a coin album or get them certified right?) Anyway, allegedly his wife spent it and there was a big news story on it. I have to admit, I was temped to drive to that town and buy a bunch of rolls from the banks and try to find it. I only lived about 100 miles away at the time. Then I realized that it was probably total bullsh*t.
Hope yours is legit! Long shot, but stranger things have happened...
