luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1479 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 11:42 am Pics. are in natural sunlight thus the washed appearence, actual color looks mellow light brown unaltered. Haggled over these two and paid $20.00 for 09 and 70.00 for the 31 S. Of course the shop listed them AU-53 and MS 62. My opinion was XF-40 and AU-58 with a comment to him about the scratch. He thus protested but accepted. Have I learned anything on this forum? Opinions solicited tear away take the gloves off and let me have it! Thanks all. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 12:00 pm I can agree with you about the VDB being an EF-40 But the 31-S is nowhere near a 58 . I think you paid too much for both of those coins . I hope the color is as better as you say it is . Sorry to burst your bubble . Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 12:31 pm I am not good at grading,with that said:09 @40 and 31-S @35. I would have passed on both.The 09 because of the spots on the rev and the ding in his beard. The 31-S because of scratch on LIBERTY. Here is a link on values,you should put in your bookmarks...http://www.numismedia.com/rarecoinprices/fmv.shtml John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5675 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 1:15 pm I'd say XF-45 on the 09VDB, and VF-35 on the 31-S. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19964 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 9:40 pm The VDB picture is way off, I'm sure it's full BN if a dealer had it at 62....hard to estimate from those pics. AU-55 VF-25 Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1479 Posts	Posted 02/20/2019 11:17 am Can't argue with unanimous opinions, thanks everyone. I'm coming around one step forward 2 back. T-Bop , I paid too much for them but man they looked good at the shop. Good lesson for me, gotta cool my pipes on semi-keys, caution henceforth. Well, bet the dealers happy? Grrrrr.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18685 Posts	Posted 02/20/2019 6:30 pm my suggestion would be to ask the owner if you can take photos there so that you can take your time to decide. what I have done in the past was have them give me two of the same date knowing that only one of them is the one I'm interested in and that I cant decide which one I want. normally they will allow you to do that knowing that they have a possible sale of one of them. post the serious one here for comments prior to purchasing.
