No, the light from the overhead would show you only the coin outline.
A cent.
Because 1909 was the 100th year of Lincolns birth.
Steel Lincolns are 5 to 10 cents on average.
The Lincoln Memorial
Unfortunately 6 different US "penny's" were made in 1909, 2 Indian Heads and 4 Lincolns. Post new question with more information.
Not sure. I have a 1974 penny with a baseball batter and pitcher stamped in front of lincolns face. The batter's jersey ends in 'TS' Any idea what this coin is?
Because of the "wheat ears" on the reverse of the coin; Left and right sides closest to the edge. They were issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincolns birth.
I can't find any listings for a British penny with that date. Could you post a new question with additional information, including any wording on the coin and a description of the image on the side that doesn't have the King's picture? NEW : One cent, it does not matter what year it is. A penny is still a penny.
The image is not off centered Do you know the value of a 1876 one penny?
Technically, only pennies made before 2010 &made after 1940. The modern penny has a shield-like image with a banner saying "one cent". the penny made before the 1900s has an image of an indian & the ones from 1901-1940 has an image of wheat.
At the very bottom of Lincolns right shoulder almost to the rim, it may be very hard to see with the naked eye.
Santa was added to the coin after it was made. It only has value to someone that wants it.
