The SVDB had an older, harsh cleaning. Nonetheless, these are always in demand in any condition. If you are going to sell it, definately send it to ANACS for a genuine slab. You'll get a lot more money selling it if it's genuine.

The 1909S appears to be a woody! I don't believe those are "scratches". Based on the pictures, this is actually a nice coin, a real solid F12. The slight stain in the left obverse field might be easily removed with a distilled water and/or xylene soak. You should have no problem getting $100 for it.
The 1914D has some spots, do NOT attempt to remove those spots. I've seen those many times before and that type of spot cannot be removed without ruining the coin. Regardless of the spots, this is another very desirable coin and an easy sell. It looks to be VG10-F12, about a $250 or better coin. You definately want to get this coin slabbed if you're selling it. However, I do think it's authentic.

Certain coins which have a long history of counterfeiting must be authenticated. ANACS is the cheapest way to go. I sent in a 1909-S VDS and a 1914-D Lincoln. Also two 1916-D Mercury dimes. Doing so gave me a great piece of mind. All were genuine. |

The 1916-D should make the trip to ANACS and maybe the 1914-D as well. I think the 1916-D will get an AG-3 and the 1914-D a G-6 details. The 1921's don't look like they are in a high enough grade to make it worthwhile. I forgot to ask if the mercury album has the two 1942/1 overdates. If it does, you may want to get those certified as well. That D0ubl3Eagle guy is pretty sharp.   I was surprised by the grade the 1909S VDB got. Higher than I expected.  Off to auction they go, I suppose. Although I'm getting tired of the ebay / Paypal 12% fees. I checked Heritage, but 19%.  Sigh... |

A little late but was going to point out the top part of the S-VDB which looks like corrosion marks. And sometimes you do get a slight bump in grade when you send in key date coins.

BTW, your 16-D I would have said genune. Mintmark style was absolutely correct.
I know I don't have the 09-S VDB in hand but, I don't see the corrosion. Slight grime...maybe...it's a coin!

A little bit of luck and some nice pictures never hurt.  I was way off on the 09-S VDB but I take as another opportunity to learn something. Glad to see that they are all genuine. |

As long as your planning on sending some of those in to a TPGS, and your planning selling most of them, my advise is to have almost all of the expensive ones slabbed. The 16D, 21, 21D Mercury dimes as well as those Lincoln Cents mentioned. Almost any coin in a slab will demand a higher price and so little worries about them being fakes. For the amount spent in having all of the ones mentioned here slabbed, you will save that much easily. And too, great advertising to be able to say all are authentic. |
