Genuine, details coin (cleaned and poorly re-toned).

Just watch the day I get a hold of a 09-s vdb, with my luck it will be counter stamped. That is all the luck I have from collecting all these years through life. But I must saw I have enjoyed every minute of collecting.

I think I can see the die chip in the MM, appears to be genuine. Sadly, it's had a rough life. Probably cleaned at a couple points in it's life and now it has retoned somewhat. But what the heck, it's still an SVDB!

VF-30/35 details

I see VF range wear and at least one prior cleaning. I'm not qualified to speak on authenticity but I don't see anything glaringly obvious wrong.

genuine - obverse die #2

as for grade the reverse is going to bump this one. the obverse looks like a weak strike. when you looks the motto and date the edges are quite sharp. the reverse looks XF. it looks like an old cleaning.

I'm netting it at VF35. good chance it grades straight. I saw a few at XF40 that were similar. I dont slab but this should be in a holder. its worth a chance it comes back straight. best shot at that may be NGC rather than PCGS

If the color in the photos is accurate, VF-35 details, cleaned.

I fear this will come back a details coin, but it must be authenticated.
