Old silver out of a cent roll

[mountainman 2]

Evening all. I was searching MWRs of cents today. One roll had at least 6 wheats. Then i spotted this in the same roll. It's heavily tarnished. At 1st glance, i thought i had a early canadian cent. Then i turned it over and saw Six Pence on the reverse. Had to wait until i got home to see a date of 1909. Edward The 7th, and sterling silver up to 1910. Made my day. Never know what's going to turn up in a cent roll. Thanks for reading and looking, MM2.

Very nice MM2, thanks for sharing... Cents are definitely fun to go through, I bet this is much harder to come by than an Indian head cent as well! Thanks for sharing, it's good to see you posting still!

Thanks for the comments everyone. I put this up against a wheat cent and they appear to be the exact same diameter. The edge reeding is still nicely raised. It's darker then the picture but i'm not going to clean it at all. The tarnish gives it that nice aged look.

Silver or not the novelty factor alone would make that a great find.

Thanks again everyone. Anyone have an idea what it might grade and book value?

epic mountain man two.

Condition looks vf to xf. Value is approximately $10; mintage around 6.6 million.

I would grade it more in XF+ to AU range. A vf coin wouldn't have that much detail in the ear on obverse or crown on reverse. Very sweet find!

That's a very pleasant surprise ! I once CRH-ed a British large cent (1915) it was an ender .
