WOW! I didn't know such a thing even existed. Is it an OBW roll? If so, it's be pretty funny if the buyer cracked the roll and found it only had S-VDB end coins. LOLOLOLOL

I think you may be talking about the video on the PCGS home page, where Jaime Hernandez interviews Goldberg, Sundman, and Bowers. Sundman talks about holding a roll of 09S VDBs in the past and says something about today it would realize over a million dollars.

BadThad, I thought the same exact thing you did. $20,000 per coin is nuts and, what if an 09-S V.D.B. was only found on the end and the rest were 09-S's  I'm not sure what kind of roll it was. I will check out the video and see. Over $1 million, no thanks! swcoin.ecrater.com

Not to uncommon. Sort of goes with my Uncirculated Roll of 1913 Liverty Head Nickels.  Note I said Liverty, not Liberty.  So many stories about coins lately. Sure wonder which is true. |

I have to call bullsnot on the claimed $1 million price or value or whatever it is. MS-66RD examples have sold recently at Heritage for $15-18,000 on the top end. If you bump it up to MS-67RD, you now have a coin worth close to $100,000. The problem with that is MS-67 is top known grade and only 10 are in the PCGS/NGC pop reports and I would imagine that a couple of those are the same coin. So to get a roll worth $1 million you would need 47 MS-66RDs and 3 MS-67RDs, not gonna happen. I cannot see a scenario where 50 raw 1909-S VDBs in a roll are worth more than 50 PCGS slabbed MS-66RDs  |

On a different forum, I read that the article this was from had a combined headline about two different things. A origonal roll that was sold, and a different story about the first copper cent to sell for over 1 million.

Liberty nickels from 1913 are extremely rare, with one that sold for $5 million dollars. So if just carl had an uncirculated roll of those, he would have an extremely valuable roll, which is why he said Liverty, instead of Liberty, as a joke.

A origonal roll that was sold, and a different story about the first copper cent to sell for over 1 million. Bingo! That was the headline on the PCGS newsletter and it DOES refer to two different things. An interview with a LONG time dealer where one of the items mentioned was a original roll of SVDB's (Not that unusual in the 40's, Abe Kosoff handled over a dozen of them.) an the second part was the sale of Dan Holmes 1795 S-79 large cent for over a million dollars. The first copper US coin to sell for over a million, an there is a youtube video of the lot being called. |
