The coin in the OP is on its way to ANACS with 9 other items under their "show special" economy rate. Guessing it will be World Series time before I get the batch back.
Thanks again to all for the tips & encouragement. Enjoy the rest of your day.

I wonder if they'll bump it out of their show special rate, as it's only good for coins up to $500 value, but worth it anyway. Good luck!

Based on the feedback in this thread, I'm guessing it will be a details (cleaned) grade and not a very high one at that. . .we'll see what they come up with.

I've always dreamed of owning a true/genuine 1909-S VDB since I started collecting at a young age. Even though we all would love to discover that MS-60 or higher one, if you found a details worn 1909-S VDB, you've achieved something a lot of us went to bed dreaming about many times! I'm hoping for you it comes out authentic!

I agree. And it would fit my Dansco album better than an MS example.

Received email today from ANACS for the 10 coins I submitted. . .

The 1909 S VDB graded out at F-15. . .. Nice to know it's legit.

Other results:
1896 Morgan - MS63; 1902-O Morgan - MS62; 1921 Morgan - MS61; 1925 Peace dollar - MS64.
1946-S Booker T. Washington - MS65; 1961 Franklin Proof - PF66; 1964 Kennedy - PF 67; 1973-S 'Blue' Ike - MS68
1986-S ASE - DCAM PF69

Photos to follow once the shipment arrives.

Again: Thanks to all for your thoughts, suggestions, and good wishes.

1909-S-VDB-Lincoln-Wheat-Cent---Real-Or-Fake?
This will add a few $ to the net proceeds of the estate lot I'm dispersing for a relative. Once a FMV is determined, I'll need to decide if I'm going to buy it from the estate or sell it. A lot of homework to do. . .
