I'd pass. You'll be able to find better deals elsewhere. :)

chrsb,

Your photo looks significantly better than the ebay seller's pic.

Dovid,

I took a chance on that one and it worked out, my pic is not photoshopped or enhanced. I like taking chances and finding that hidden gem, sometimes it works out, other times it dosn't.

He may well be an honest dealer but also, may not know how to properlly grade. Regardless, if you notice the photos of the 31S posted by several people, you would realize that a 31S in great shape is normal. Like I said, many, many were hoaded in that condition back then. Even the superly overpriced Red Book shows that one in MS63 for $140 and at coin shows for much less. An 09S would have to be in at least VF20 to be worth that.

OOPS! My mistake. I thought he said $125 each & he actually said $112 each. He showed me the Greysheet prices for F & they were $112 each.

Based on the responses here, I decided to hold off on the 1931-S & go for a higher grade like a AU/MS.

When I saw the 1909-S, it was F-VF; I think it was undergraded. My dealer told me he just paid $100 for it from another dealer. I bought it for $110:

Sounds better but post a photo of that coin.
