I have one that would probably grade MS64 or better...but it has two solder jewelry welds on the reverse(they don't block much detail)...does it have any value?

atlashealth, like 1337 said,  The coin is considered damaged at that point. It could be a MS coin, but since it has solder attached, the value is dramatically decreased. I'd have to see it. swcoin.ecrater.com

I split this into your own topic instead of being in the buy/sell section so maybe you will get the answer you are looking for

Drastically reduced value for a recovered jewelry piece .

Just like everyone here is saying, the price is going to be considerably less since it is damaged. The good thing (if any) is that it's on the reverse, so it would look awesome in a folder (not an album).

Sorry about the poor photos...my scanner is down and I used a cheap digital camera...what do you think? also after looking at it, I decided that it is not a high mint state, but slider at best?  Image:  1909VDB1.jpg101.74 KB Image: 1909VDB2.jpg101.52 KB Edited by atlashealth

That DOES look like a mint mark ...Could we have a close up of the date/MM area? |

I tried getting better pics---cropping and editing, but none of these are good enough to see detail...if there is a mint mark, it is very weak ...are there varieties with weak mint marks? When I look under the the loop it looks like there may be a weak S Thanks Bryan! Edited by atlashealth

Try holding a magnifier in front of the camera's lens and then shooting the picture...Works for me every time.

While I can't bring the picture back it indeed has a mint mark , when I look at it at 600 magnification it is visable but not clear enough to authenticate .
we need better pics a,,if you can't get them take the coin to a coin shop and see if they can authenticate the mint mark ,, the1909 S VDB is the key date for the lincoln series and even damaged by the soldier its value goes up considerably .
