I am new to this great forum. I just need 4 more Lincoln wheat coins to complete my collection.1909-S,1914-D,1931-S,1909-S-V.D.B. For the last 3 coins, I think I should buy slabbed. What do you all thing ? I just started collecting again after not for 30 years. I want to leave my Grand child my collection. I need the four most key coins. First of the 4 is 1909-S. Here is a photo of the one I am looking at. Let me know your thoughts !   Edited by peteypool

I'm betting most people will say to buy slabs for at least 1909-s vdb, and depending on if you're looking for high grade examples, yes to the others. It's what I'd do anyway.
I'm not especially great at grading, but that looks like a nice coin. Others with much more experience will chime in with better opinions, but I'd think this is something like MS64/65BN.
Edit: well, there you have it. I'm obviously the worst grader ever so I'll be staying silent from now on. Sorry.

Definitely not even close to MS 64. I was thinking more like XF 40. A very pleasing coin, but try to stay under $120.

XF-45. Not a bad looking coin. Perhaps lightly cleaned once in its life.

I'm with coin197. I have it between XF40 and 45. as for slabbing, thats a personal preference. personally I like to fill the slots in the album. I want to see the book full not a couple of empty holes. if you decide to go that route the only big concern would be the 09s vdb but you could always post it here for comments before you buy. mine is raw and thats the way it will stay, right with a its brothers in my album

Same way you are all I need is 09SVDB , which even I lower grade of VF is out of my reach, have the others which are less expensive. Besides which, my grandkids could care less about coins, they'd sell to the cash, unless you could guaranty the appreciation and sentiment, is better to build memories in the moment. I collect for my satisfaction, take the little buggers fishing, hiking, hunting, shooting tin cans, that they'll remember, an object is tangible, subject to loss...what's upstairs is more resistant to that loss, been thinking a lot about that lately..

Nice looking 1909-s cent. To me the coin surfaces do not look 100% original, but I am junior to other opinions expressed.
