1909-S VDB If a coin has a pit under the date where a mint mark usually is located, you then put S? in the title. If the VDB is very faint, you explain that "At the time the U.S. mint had the V.D.B. removed from remaining coins." 273097230970

The problem of course is that there are tens of thousands of coins in those garbage SGS slabs. Just because they've been closed down... doesn't mean the slabs have been taken out of circulation.
People who didn't know any better and bought them will eventually dispose of their collection and they'll show back up priced based on legit high grade coins and expect to receive that much for them.

It does come with a free protective case.
In all seriousness it's going to cost them 2.98 to ship plus a dollar for the bubble wrapper - so anything less than five bucks they might as well just break it out and spend it at face

Quote: How can this be graded an MS64? It can't be - did you look up the PCGS # to see if has the same picture to the number? If so, that's crazy!

Toning, no matter how heavy, does not reduce technical grade. It is also a bad photo.
Do not get me wrong, I would still pass on this one.
