It's a 1919 S.

There it is... Does it change anyone's mind?

I think this coin has been passed over hundreds of times by coin hunters because of the damage. So what is a heavily circulated, cleaned, acid damaged 1909 S VDB worth anyway? Should I send it to ANACS to be authenticated with details?

Maybe $350-500? Seems worth the time to double check no matter how sure you are it is a 1919 S.

No. It's a 19s. It's your money, if you don't want to take centuries of experience telling you that it's a 19, send it in. Just be sure to come back and show all of us we were wrong.

Dead horse topic. There is not a single piece of evidence suggesting this is an '09-SVDB, not even a shred.   Value less than ten cents, if that. Edited by Coinfrog

up loading heavily pixelated images are of zero help here. just as there is zero chance that this is a 1909-S VDB cent. However It would seem that there is no changing your mind about that, So! if you are going to send it in, Send it to ANACS for validation. they are the cheapest in terms of their cost, they are the 3rd best recognized TPG, AND there is no membership needed to have a coin graded. Now, if you send it in, all that I ask is that you report back with what ever result you get back from them. Good luck on this coin. |

yeah, 1919-S. no trace of a 0 in that date and no trace of V.D.B. on the reverse. a lot of wear & damage, not worth any more effort, really.

Let me try to make it more clear. The position of the digits in the date makes it impossible to be a 1909-S. Here's a comparison of the 1919-S and 1909-S dates. So if it's a 1919-S, there cannot be a VDB on the reverse. Just trying to save you some grading fees.  |

Thanks all. I'll send it to ANACS. Am I the only one that sees the VDB on the reverse? I "get it" about spacing, the coin has issues and the date especially, but certainly everyone can see the "D" on the reverse. And at the right lighting angle, the "V" and the bottom half of the "B" all exactly where they should be and in the right font. It is difficult to photograph. If it was a 1919S, they should not be there, as John1 explained in an earlier post. It's not a "Dead Horse", not yet, although that description could be used for many things and people. Perhaps you should choose words not so dismissive and disrespectful to a truly majestic breed of animal. Feel free to move on. To the rest of you, I'll send it off soon and report back.

Definitely in the top 10 of all the threads I've seen on the forum over my years here. Edited by Coinfrog
