However, the photos are so out of focus, and with so much glare that I can't be 100% certain. This picture is of the coins as they are in the listing (upside down). In his "Old Penny Roll" listing 272335086090, he claims (in a long monologue) to have found (in other rolls) "A CHERRY RED UNC 1911-S AND THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER FOLLOWED BY A KIND OF LIGHT COLORED '09 VDB-S, WHICH I WILL BE LISTING FOR SALE SOME TIME THIS WEEK". One would assume that this listing is that "light colored" coin.

nss-52 Moderator United States 54280 Posts	Posted 08/12/2016 11:18 pm My opinion of the new photos: Mint mark is wrong. Color is wrong. VDB is not clear enough to analyze. The rims are wrong. Strike is wrong, particularly the reverse. Show your financial support of the Coin Community Family (click here) See my topic on Mexican Numismatic Medals (click here) Report this Post to the Staff
