1909 S VDB - Just Wanted To Share :)

I'm guessing this would slab as a Questionable Color Details coin. If we stipulate that it's Uncirculated (not positive) and the B in VDB is correct (can't tell from the images) so it's genuine, the end result is about a $1000 coin.

Although the details seem appropriate, the imagery is tilted so specific relationships can't be discerned for sure. It resembles Mint Mark #2, looks good for rotation, location (with that caveat) and appearance. I'm kinda bothered by the VDB, aside the aforementioned concern with the B - a vertical line drawn through the left edge of the N in CENT should just barely miss hitting the B in VDB. This one doesn't seem quite right, but the angle of the image might explain it.

Pretty good example why only the experts should be buying this one raw. It might be a slam-dunk 64RB, therefore a $3000 coin, or it might be a fake. There's no way to tell from the available evidence, and yes, I ran down the auction.

Might have been true a few years ago, but currently trending about $1700-1800...and I couldn't get anyone to buy mine (NGC MS-64RB yesterday for $1750.00 (I visited 3 dealers and made 2 calls). Currently looking @ purchasing one priced at $1500.00 MS-64RB PCGS. Didn't do it, still chewing on it, probably be gone by the time I get my head straight.

With the proliferation of fakes on the market it is wise to get anything of significant value TO YOU authenticated. Your heirs will appreciate it. The guy they sell it to won't because he can't use the "it might be counterfeit" excuse to lowball his offers.
