I want to purchase a 1909 s vdb. I know this coin will cost a lot of money and I am just afraid to buy one off of ebay. I don't want to spend that kind of money and it turn out to be a fake. Where would everyone recommend me buying one from where you are confident that you are getting the real thing? All input is appreciated.

A reputable coin shop will probably have one, depending on what grade you want of course. Otherwise, look for one of these that have been slabbed by PCGS, ANACS or NGC.

I recommend only the big 3 TPG'S, PCGS,NGC,or ANACS.
Check cert verification too! Understanding the diagnostics of this coin is key.
The PCGS Guide to Grading and Counterfeit Detection is a great tool :-)

Thanks nod. I really know very little about slabbed coins, but I will look for one of the three you listed. I think in this case a slabbed coin would be my best option for guaranteed authenticity. Would one on ebay be safe as long as it is slabbed by one of three you listed above?

If its a reputable seller that offers a return priv, you should be ok. Stay away from China!

You might try looking at a nearby coin show so that you can find the best priced coin and in the condition you want. I personally would only buy the 09-S VDB if it were slabbed, and as mentioned above, by a reputable grading company.
