Nice collectible example of a woody '09 vdb.
You'll find, though, there are lots of these out there.

Worth slabbing just for the toning & woodgrain, in my opinion, but I would have gone with ANACS or a lower cost option. The slab will protect against further degradation of the coin's surfaces, helping to preserve the already-existing unique pattern.

Very nice coin, MS-64 RB IMHO. You might want to take better pictures showing the luster, because I cant tell from here if theres any (so it might be cleaned, probably not though) Nice coin  |

I'm at MS64 RB on this one as well. Curious to see what PCGS says, these woodies are tough to grade from a static photo only.

great looking coin. if preservation is the goal and you cannot sonic seal yourself, than a TPG is the way to go. |

How much wood would a wood mint mint if a wood mint would mint wood?

I just found that about an hour ago after doing a quick google search... I was almost hoping there would be something along the lines of the system in the NGC video... that would be amazing!! I'm thinking that if PCGS wasn't in CA, that would be a great place for a retirement job... just let me seal the holders, I'll work for minimum wage.

Grading the way they want you to do it is a grind. I'd be too slow for them, and perhaps too conservative. As for sealing the coins in the slabs, that would get old fast also. They won't not let you take the time to look at each coin. You have to be on the move. Writing copy for one of the big auction houses would be better. When I first thought of becoming a dealer, and nother dealer told me that was the job I should shoot for. I dodn't pursue it because I really didn't want to live in California or New York City. Of course there might have been a job for me in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire.  Edited by billjones

If I could do anything for a numismatic career I'd like an ownership stake in a coin dealer that did a lot of early copper, Morgan dollar, and Lib Seated business and travelling around to shows across the country getting people excited and enthused about my favorite coins. Unfortunately I think today most dealers derive their income from flipping, auctions, and lowball purchases from estates. I know several that don't even have B&M shops anymore, having gone entirely web-based / auction-based for sales. The upcoming EAC convention needs coin handlers for viewing lots and to me that would be an outstanding job even though it's unpaid labor :P Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

Just remember that the sonically sealed slabs are not air tight. There is some interchange. So even slabbed you need a decent environment, dry with no cooking fumes.

Well for everyone that guessed MS64RB, you're dead on... Came back with that grade! Good job! I'm happy with it... Would have been happier if it was an S V.D.B.!!
