sn31 Pillar of the Community United States 773 Posts	Posted 05/09/2006 11:33 pm It's been a treasureful day for me,and I'm thrilled. first off I found a 1974 Canadian penny in my birthyear, and then while browsing at an antique mall I stumbled across a coin counter.I bought a 1926 quarter,and a 1929 Buffalo nickel.Not in the best condition,but beautiful to me.Then my moms friend found out I was collecting coins and brought me 5 rolls of wheat pennies many of which in dates I didn't have,and a 2 dollar bill still like brand new,not a crease or flipped edge anywhere on it.while at the antique mall I noticed a 1909 penny there for sale $70.00,and I almost got it but it had been cleaned.Was this still a good deal?Thanks for reading my chatter.sn31 Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 05/10/2006 03:35 am was the 1909 just a 1909 or was it a 1909-S or a 1909-S VDB ? If the cent was a 1909-P ( no mint mark ) then 70.00 is exremely high since these can be bought for less than 50.00 in MS-65 RB If it is either one of the other two ,, cleaned the price maybe in the ball park depending on the overall grade of the coin.

sn31 Pillar of the Community United States 773 Posts	Posted 05/10/2006 2:02 pm I believe it was just a 1909,who knows, maybe I should have just bought it.It may be awhile before I come by one again. thanks for the info.sn31. Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 05/10/2006 2:22 pm sn31 I dont recommend that you just buy anything !!! the 1909 VDB is not a hard coin to find in MS grades at reasonable prices. But the 1909-S and the 1909-S VDB are very expensive coins in all grades and should be looked at with a very decerning eye (especially raw) these coins have been very extensively counterfieted . If in doubt its better to pass than buy a fake !! Rick Edited by Metalman 05/10/2006 2:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
