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.
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.
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?
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.
A 1921 Lincoln cent is not considered rare or even scarce. But, pre-1934 Lincolns are getting a little hard to find.
