65-66 the glare makes it hard to judge. Also why can I bring up some people pictures in there own little windows but not others?

It does not look like the value of the coin would justify the grading fees....

I suspect that you'll spend more to have PCGS certify this coin than it is worth. What is the motivator for TPG grading? Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Use the money you would waste on PCGS grading to buy another coin. Bucket loads of these in Mint State , yours is likely 64 RED , a very common LWC. |

I actually think it is AU. Definitely not worth grading. I hope it's not too late.

Pics aren't really sharp enough to grade from, but it would have to come back at least 65RD to justify the grading fees. Not a good bet.

Thank you all for you appraisals with my terrible pictures (sorry about that-working on better set up) and very appreciated advise.......I'm getting it graded because that's the best one I've acquired in my 6 months (novice) of collecting for my Lincoln Cent wheat collection (1909-1958) of graded coins I will pass down to my two boys (13 & 15), once I acquire another coin as reasonable as this one cost me in better condition, I'll cull this one and sell it hopefully enough to cover cost of grading and cost of coin? I honestly thought that's how collectors started putting together collections and sell unwanted coins without guessing or lying about condition to unsuspecting coin collectors? I'd rather sell a graded coin then trying to guess grade and not be an honest seller! Who knows, may just start a second set of coins and keep them all, lol! My thoughts are the older the coins get the more valuable they become, yes I know once graded that's final! Anywho, that's my reasoning! Thanks again community! Sarge, out |

63, not worth submitting. If you want a slabbed coin, you'd be FAR better off buying one already slabbed. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...909+vdb+PCGSThe TPG game is a losing proposition for the novice collector. They are more than happy to take your money and send you back a coin worth less than the slabbing costs. |

I agree I wouldn't slab it. Heck I have a 1909 S VDB I didn't slab.

It's your money, but when most experienced collectors responding to this thread try to caution you, I'd at least wait a bit and think about it.  Edited by Coinfrog

In some ways, the age of the coin can affect value, but there are many other things to consider. Coin type, date, MM and any variety will have a major effect. Coin condition also has a major effect beyond the above. It's really not just about how old a coin is. I'm not an ancients collector, but I have a Roman coin minted in 330 AD. It's so common that it is really not worth much at all. A few bucks? As to grading, it's not final. Anyone is welcome to take a graded/slabbed coin, break it out and resubmit it for another round of grading or keep it raw. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
