I had no idea they made proofs in 1909. that 1909 s vdb must be worth some big bucks. Is there a story behind it?

You folks have some really, really nice key date coins. I don't collect Lincolns (yet) but that toned S-VDB is a jaw dropper! I have a few to contribute, first dribble:

Hello, Johnny, care to take a stab at the grade? (I know you're an SLQ aficionado)

I may be completely off, but I think it would make the cut for VF-20. It is much nicer than the one I posted for sure, though I did purchase mine at melt.

PCGS gave it VF-25, so I'd say you're on the money, grading from pics! Paid a bit over melt for mine, LOL.

Early in my collecting days, I was cannon fodder for the sellers with multipage ads in Coin World. This was one of my purchases, a "BU" 1886 nickel. It had a sort of hazy luster that I couldn't quite figure out. Last year, as I began to realize that I was 'had' on a number of purchases, I soaked it in acetone, which removed the hazy "luster" (I believe it was smoked) and what I had was a cleaned, uncirculated details coin. Not too bad looking.Probably worth about the "bargain" price I paid for it.
