Question
Dear Sir, after a bit of research I found out(think) that this is not a Error... David Brenner's Original Design did not include
![1909 with no "In God We Trust"](javascript:displayImg('http://0.tqn.com/w/experts/Coin-Collecting-2297/2011/11/1909-god-trust_3.jpg','1909 with no "In God We Trust"','1909s Original Design by David Brenner'))
motto "In God We Trust" President Roosevelt had approved it!!
and Taft saw it with and without the Motto and choose one with it.
Many Pre-Production models were made and left the MINT to be
shown to Elite Congressmen....did they ever make it Back?
Help? Advise? Did I find a RARE Penny in a Bank Roll?
I can't see anything from the picture but the coin seems to be extremely well worn. It's possible that the motto just wore away or was purposely removed.
Another option is that it was a pattern coin, one that was never placed into circulation. But that is not probable since your coin is badly worn.

| Comment | Best Logical Answer,but back then...mishaps,errors,made in first test runs could have got into circulation! I am soon doing the miscroscope TEST,and if that clears,there is another (FINAL TEST) they do with Guns etc where serial numbers have been earsed.That final TEST can tell where there was "In God We Trust" there no matter how it was earsed. Or not there at all.Many Experts and Friends have checked.This would be ONE of the only Penny's that does not have "In God We Trust"... God Willing...Amen! | ||
