Dearborn Moderator United States 94636 Posts	Posted 04/26/2024 09:20 am I'm thinking of maybe buying this coin (1909-S VDB). What do you folks think of: 1. the coin itself, and 2. the ICG Grading Service <-- This one is important - are they reliable and reputable? ebay item number:395364904676 Now If I do buy it, I'll be cutting it out of the slab for my Dansco album.. Thought? Comments? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15381 Posts	Posted 04/26/2024 09:31 am IMO I would ask for clear photos of the coin itself. All I can really see with these seller photos are glare from the slab. I can't comment on ICG as a grading service, hopefully someone can help with that. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

You are going for a much higher grade to fill that hole than I am.

coin rejector Pillar of the Community United States 2829 Posts	Posted 04/26/2024 11:47 am When I began my journey down the numismatic rabbit hole, I remember talking w/ a coin dealer in my area regarding TPG's. He jokingly referred to ICG as (I Can't Grade) as reputable but (PCGS, NGC & ANACS) are more desirable. Good luck on the '09 S VDB, looks like a nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5661 Posts	Posted 04/26/2024 12:56 pm Looks like a pretty decent coin from the available pics. But it just sold--did you buy it? Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19930 Posts	Posted 04/26/2024 1:14 pm ICG is an excellent TPG, especially for Lincolns. In fact, I agree with their grading more than PCGS or NGC! You can trust that this coin is accurately graded. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15381 Posts	Posted 04/26/2024 1:50 pm Congratulations on the purchase. Not much to quibble on a PCGS AU-53 1909-S VDB ... but those small obverse carbon spots are a teeny bit distracting. Show us some photos when it's residing in your Dansco.
