Why do you guys like to keep them in an album?

Ultimately, it is your decision what to collect and how to store them. For me it is my preference to use albums, because when I started collecting it was about building sets; first in folders, then shortly after moving to albums. I prefer albums to folders because of the ability to see both sides of the coin and the extra protection it provides (compared to folders).

Hey, Rainman, I found a 1909 VDB, ef-au in circulation. Someone used it to buy a CD at Wal-mart and I happened to be the one who checked him out. Like my coin shop guy said, "somebody got into dad's collection." It's not an "S" but still a pretty good find. Sorry Teuk, I don't know anything about sending coins for grading either. I'm sure someone knows... |

1. The coin in the first post of this thread grades NO HIGHER than VF20. I don't know what the rest of you are seeing as EF-AU, but that simply isn't the case.
2. The coin has been cleaned at one time, which may very well affect your ability to get it into any kind of reputable slab.
3. I'm a little iffy as to whether this coin is even genuine. It looks like it could have an added mintmark, but it's very hard to determine by images alone.
Best bet would be to send it in to ANACS for either a grade or a 'genuine' holder. Fee is the same for each, and it will definitely come back in a holder that way. If you send it in for a grade only and they determine it to be a cleaned coin, you may get the coin back without a holder and be out the money.

Chuck - I respect your opinion to the highest level. I'd agree the obverse is likely in the VF range, unless better pictures show otherwise. However, the reverse is much nicer. The wheat grains and wheat heads are barely worn. That made me suspect a couple things: 1) The coin was face down sliding back and forth on a car dash for a few years. hehehehehe 2) The obverse die was late stage and worn at the design high points. Also have to say the coin is free of any major hits and the rims look good. I'd also compare it to Jaobler's 1909SVDB: https://goccf.com/t/33940The wear on this coin is a lot LESS than his PCGS VF35 IMO. That would put it into the EF range. OK....you asked! LOL |

Well how much is the fee? and how long would it take?
Also I'm pretty sure this coin genuine, its from someones private
collection. He took pride in his coins and I highly doubt he would
have a fake coin in one of his books.

"cleaned coin" could be a big issue though....  |

You'd have to join ANA or PCGS to have it graded. I think you should find a local coin dealer you trust and have them submit the coin for you. Just ask them approximately what they think the fee would be. Also, ask them what their opinion is on the coin. The pictures are not all that great, but I don't really see any indication of cleaning. It seems to have a nice, even brown surface to me. Detecting a cleaned coin can be very difficult without having it in-hand. Chuck might see something I do not, but he is the forum authority on Lincoln's beyond any doubt. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

Nice coin, but I have to say it looks cleaned to me also like copper coins said. Send it to either ANACS or ICG because you can send to them without having to pay for a membership fee and they will slab your coin even if it's cleaned or has another problem with it.
