They do not bring a premium, but are cool: I just posted a picture of one in the Elbesaar thread: Report this Post to the Staff

two_tonevf35 Pillar of the Community United States 719 Posts	Posted 06/11/2018 11:17 pm I just did a search and there are over 500 1909 S listings at present. I just looked at the first 25 - all Fine or below - and 2 I couldn't tell due to wear, and of the remaining 23, 9 were inverted and 14 upright. So, not a 50:50 based on that small sample, but still...not a rarity. Edited by two_tonevf35 06/11/2018 11:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
