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.

Yep, same with me. Its not often you find AU Mercs like that, let alone ones with rare overdates! For free!

Whatever you do please do not clean it, even if a coin dealer (would they ever?) tell you to do so.

Leave it as you found it. Pop it in a 2x2 holder or something that will hold it in place without damaging it.

Now, I have a question, is it a P mint or D mint?

AWESOME!!! get it graded, I suggest NGC or PCGS, just opinions though, personally, I buy coins graded by NGC. definately enough detail to get graded, plus you should get it graded for autheitication(not saying you're lieing, looks real to me), just that those chinese fakes look so real , congrats on the major score!

That is a sweet score!!!!!!!!!!! I'd say Banner, but we don't do that here :wink:

I agree with getting it slabbed for sure.

Congrats!
