Die pair 4...............The dots in the VDB and the slant of the B look fine. Plus it has the "Shallow" N and the correct font S mintmark.

Looks like a genuine mintmark position 4, and all the markers look correct. @Marv65, you could move your horizontal red line up a bit to match the reference photo. Nice coin!

the closeups look good. looks like obv die #4. the VDB looks look as well. I think you have an authentic 09S VDB

AU55 possibly AU58

this one needs to go in. from experience I know PCGS is tough on these so I'm not sure who I would send it to you. maybe NGC. anyone here have a choice as to the best TPG for it?

if it grades straight could in the $1900 range

you can see how photos can alter what we are seeing, angles and lighting are critical for an accurate assessment. if you send it in repost it with the grade and reference this post.

This one needs to go to a TPG and worth the money to do so. Something looks off about this coin but I can't say what. Surfaces look odd and so does the rim but might just be photo lighting. Mint mark looks like an obverse #4.

I like the way it looks to be some slight lamination cracks around the VDB area.......
