Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 876 Posts	Posted 08/18/2024 07:27 am I could use some of your opinions on this one. Hoping the provided images are sufficient to get a consensus. I have more photos taken at 90 degree rotations to the light source is needed but didn't want to overkill. Trying to hone my skills here and will give a conservative guess at VF35. Am I close?

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2955 Posts	Posted 08/18/2024 07:36 am Yeah, it to my eyes looks like a 35 or even 40 on a good day for this key date On thing to look for on these are the rpms, as there are two major types, the normal S/S, and the S over Horizontal S...

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/18/2024 09:00 am I'll say VF-25, perhaps 30. Most attractive. Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 08/18/2024 11:05 am I would put it at VF25, a nice key date My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18664 Posts	Posted 08/18/2024 11:50 am too much light on the first photos. I'm assuming the coin doesn't look like this in hand using the other ones. the obv looks like a weak strike that I would call VF20 maybe 25 but the reverse is much better closer the VF35 imo. i'd net it to about VF30 there are 4 obv dies for the 09S. its definitely not #1 or #4. die #2 and #3 are a challenge without the coin in hand. it doesn't matter which one but though you might be interested in that.

Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 876 Posts	Posted 08/18/2024 3:43 pm Thanks to all of you for having a look and offering up your opinions. Looks like I wasn't to far off the mark on this one. It most certainly looks better in hand than in the lousy photos provided. Hope to get some more out pretty soon. Thanks again. Much appreciated.
