Pic of the REV makes it look like someone in the past took the old pencil eraser to penny to make it shine trick. Its been re-toned somewhat if this is the case. But...its an S-VDB  Edited by Earle42

I think it's VF details but think it might be in an EF details holder.

In the end, the slab grade doesn't matter. This is an unfortunately disfigured coin that will never trade at a straight price.  Edited by Coinfrog

Almost looks like an added "S". The mark on the mint mark makes it hard to verify. VF30 details scratched.

here is what PCGS said. I had it at XF40 and wasn't sure if the scratches would details it but I guess it was enough to do that. anyone care to comment on what they think a fair value would be for it?  |

As I thought! Yay me, I win the prize of nothing, LOL - (well except I forgot PCGS calls them XF not EF), DOH! As to a value I look to either other similar priced details coins in recent auctions on ebay, Heritage, Great Collections, etc. anywhere you can find them really. Another good guess is the next grade down so XF40 to VF20 or take 35-60% of cost off pricing of EF not detailed. So much will depend on how badly the detail area is, where it is on the coin, and how in demand the date/mintmark is. You have a pretty wanted coin, though common for a rare coin, being that 1909-S vdb are not difficult to find for sale in the market for the most part. I'd guess on this coin $350-775.00 I know that's quite a large range. I personally would pass on it all day long as they are so many better looking ones out there, and there is no real upside on this coin unless I could buy it really, really cheap (like $300-325.00 cheap). It would sit a long time priced in a coin case at a shop or at a show. In auction with no reserve is about the only way it would sell, I think, but you never know what you will end up getting until it's over. My Two Cents - which may or may NOT be worth anything.
