I'm a big fan of toning, I love the highlight on VDB and the S under 1909.
Almost makes a statement about itself shouting "This is what I am!"
Great coin, I don't own one but I don't blame you one bit for snatching up this one.
Nice!

Great pick up! Awesome color and surface fields! I had that on my "watching" list myself, knowing full well that I could never afford it, but liked looking at it!  |

That's one great coin, nice purchase. I think it would look even nicer in my album. LOL

I think it's pretty nice. Pretty nice? The waitress at lunch today was pretty nice, that cent is a beautiful work of art and a stunning piece of history! |

Is it raw or in a slab? If raw, what steps did you take to be sure of authenticity and grade?
I always worry about this stuff when laying out the kind of money that these things go for. A beauty for sure!

Thanks everyone! Ya I think it is a great example of this coin. Quote:
Is it raw or in a slab? It's slabbed by PCGS, I would never buy a coin over $500 that wasn't slabbed especailly the way China is starting to penetrate the coin market these days!  |

 The Chinese fear factor has prevented me from really getting some coins or upgrading some of my sets. I've never been a fan of slabs but I guess now that's the way of numismatics. Wait a minute-weve got fake coins in fake slabs now too. AAAGHHH  |

Great coin - what did PCGS grade it?

Nice pick up Nelrak! I peeked on ebay and saw it. Did you buy in his store? The BIN price was not bad at all for that coin. Great coin and great long term investment. |

Beautiful toning. What did it grade? Mine was an AU-53 in a PCGS slab, but it was brown. Really took courage to pull the trigger on that much cash outlay - at least for me. Congrats.

Is that doubling on the B in VDB?
