This is pretty much the only coin I've been looking at for the last 6 months.
ebay has a steady flow and after a while you get to know a lot of them.
A bunch of coins just get re-listed over and over again, and some get flipped.
From what I saw this coin would have brought more money at Heritage but would have needed to be slabbed.
My coin guy (B&M) acquired a two over the last year, AG and VG details.
I went to one local coin show and got to see a nice VF+, but way over my head price wise,
even the G-VG coins were high, I wasn't buying so I didn't really see what I could get them for.
I agree this is a solid VG10, but to be honest I saw a few slabbed F12 coins on
ebay that were not as nice as this coin.
I basically didn't agree with the grade on those and found it very interesting.
Doesn't matter, it's just going in the album and hopefully I'll never have a reason to sell.
Thanks for all the kind words, I really just wanted to share my "big event" with my buds at CCF.
Sooo who's got a nice 1909-S .....
