I found a 1907 in a new brick I opened this morning. It was in the first roll of the brick and came out shield side up. This is the 35th I have found roll searching since Feb. 2014 and the 5th 1907. Here are the others I have found:1880, 1881, 1883, 1887, 1888, (2)1890, (2)1891, 1893, (2)1895, (2)1896, 1897, 1899, (2)1900, (3)1901, 1902, (2)1903, (3)1904, 1905, 1906, (5)1907 and 1908. Thanks for looking.
Nice find Larry... What is there at the top of the numbers in the date??? Doesn't look like MD... May be lite reflection???
It must be the light reflecting off of the crud that encircles the numbers. I have a lamp above and to the north of the coin when I take the picture and when I look at the coin with my loupe with the lamp in the same position I see what you are talking about also, but if I turn the coin 90 or 180 degrees I don't see it. It is a light science reflection anomaly that I can't solve. Thanks for your keen observation Jim!!
