Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10580 Posts	Posted 03/24/2026 4:49 pm Not at all. You only see it from the high magnification, TPGs only use 5x or 10x to grade with. Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 03/26/2026 09:26 am I missed the drama earlier in this thread, but I'm happy that it turns out to be a legit 09S VDB. Congratulations! It must feel great to complete this set. This coin and the 14D are holding me back from completing my Lincoln set. At this point, I doubt I will pull the trigger on either coin. But you never know! I would happily put this coin ungraded into my Dansco album with all the others. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
TroyOunce New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 03/27/2026 7:36 pm Bump111 The 14d was the last one I bought, it was a huge relief to finish. I started the book 1909- 1940 when I was 27. Thirty years later I have completed 1909-2025. I have probably 6k wheats left over from all the years lol Report this Post to the Staff
