I would like to eventually own a 1922 no D Lincoln Cent. I figure I could get a pretty decent one for under $1,000.00. |

Just out of curiosity, what is a 1909-S VDB worth through the range of grades?

1909 S VDB retail is about
Good VG Fine VF20 VF35 XF40
650.00 800.00 1,000.00 1,175.00 1,275.00 1,325.00
AU50 MS60 MS61 MS62 MS63 MS64 MS65
1,450.00 1,625.00 1,700.00 1,800.00 1,850.00 3,000.00 5,000.00
I would take the best 20.00 gold piece I could get for 1000 bucks if I could only have one coin.

If you could only collect one coin for under $1000, what coin would you choose? What a curious question. I'd choose another hobby. Variety is key for my enjoyment of collecting; I'm normally much happier spending $1000 on 1000 different coins from the dealer's $1 scratchtray than on buying just one coin with it. If I were restricted to owning just one coin, I'd be very miserable, no matter how good an "investment" it might be. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

I have a 1909S VDB already so another would just be a duplicate. Since this is an exercise in "lets pretend" I'd have to say a Mint State 1955 DDO Lincoln Cent. |

In this "let's pretend" game, you'd have no doubles. :) Only one coin. Can the word "collect" be used to refer to having only one of something? Edited by steve199

I would get the 1972 double die, I must say there are not to many coins I would want for that price now if you said any one coin without a price I would have choice a ef fugio cent.

I would probably just collect liberty coronet head double eagles, but if I could only collect one date it would be the 1854-O..lol Not like I could afford one..lol. Otherwise the ones I could afford would be MS-61 to 62 1902 Phillies
