AU 58 to MS 60'ish.

Does not look like a proof to me.

Unquestionably a proof, go to the NGC site compare the photos I posted to the 1909 V.D.B Proof posted on the price guide exact match, no question. Any idea on the grade?

I don't need to compare it. That coin is not a proof.

So......

If you think it's a proof then you might as well send it in for third party grading. After you get it back please post pics. If it comes back as a proof in an NGC, PCGS, ANACS or SEGS holder I'll be glad to eat my fair share of a well-cooked crow pie.

Will be patiently waiting. (I got a feeling it'll be a while!)

I would also be shocked if this came back a proof. I'd say AU-58, although MS something is possible. The photos are tough to grade from.

ICG must have a huge backlog. It has been a while and the crickets are just chirping away.
