Title: 1920 Penny Dot Above
Post by: p.gee on April 06, 2017, 03:27:38 PM

I was going through what I thought were the lesser coins in my recent purchase and found a 1920 penny with what looks like a dot above the top scroll. Can anyone confirm if this is a genuine example and what it might be worth in this condition.
Thanks P.G.

Looks genuine to me.
You can buy similar ones on Ebay for circa $125
