chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 12/14/2022 10:22 pm I hear the words "raw" and "1909-S VDB" I get very uncomfortable. Just sayin'. If this is a coin dealer they understand the power of good photos while also realizing what can be hidden with poor ones.

For sure it's been corroded and cleaned, also damage on the right wheat lines - around F12. About a $300 max roll of the dice IMO. Lincoln Cent Lover!

gmwatson Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 12/17/2022 12:50 pm Isn't that how some auctions go? A little bidding frenzy with some poorer customer grading skills and voila ... someone spends far more than they should on item. I think there's some type of advanced theorem of psychology that accounts for this FOMO law of science. Report this Post to the Staff
