Seems to be some chatter lately in here about the 1909. SO I was wondering how many people in here have one....Tell us about yours. How or where did got yours? Was it an ebay purchase? Found in a lucky coin roll or was it passed down from generations to generations. I do not have one and I know of no one who does - hopefully one day I will "stumble" across one. Thanks all for sharing and maybe in the future I can share my story as well.  |

I do not have one.  But I do want one! I will eventually get one for my Dansco. It should be graded from F to EF, to match the rest of my wheat cents, but I will settle for a G if it still has a certain eye appeal. |

Got mine on ebay in a lot being auctioned by an antique furniture dealer. He said he knew nothing about coins and found them in a desk drawer he got at auction. He laid the coins on a piece of paper and wrote the date beside each one.There was one pic for the whole lot.So I knew there was a 1909-S along with some nice capped halves and quarters. I allowed $75 for the 09-S, but won the whole lot for less than my high bid.I was real happy with the silver, and sold it for a few bucks more than I paid for the lot. Didn't realize a had an 09-S VDB until a month later when I took some pics to verify if it was genuine.The VDB was very weak and until I had it on my screen,I didn't see it. Got it slabbed by ANACS as F12 details,cleaned,corroded,and weak VDB.Not great, but I'm still happy with it. |

My grandfather gave it to me. He told me he bought it in the 1950's for $35. Today it's in an NGC VF-30 holder. :)

Good luck Scooby and butch. I hope you guys can get one.
Maineman - nice lot you picked up and its funny how you dont realize you have something until you take a picture of it. I am sure the F12 looks great in your collection.

I got my original one from a bank roll when I was 11...wrote an letter to coin finds detailing some of my finds and they published it - june 1979 edition. I later traded it and some $ to a dealer to upgrade to a fine condition coin. Going to sell it probably to upgrade my quarters and half dollars.

purchased mine in 2006 from a dealer at one of the Long Beach shows-xf-45, thought it was the last one I needed for a complete set-finally got my entire collection under one roof for the 1st time in 40 years and lo and behold I'm missing a 09-S,12-D, 13-S, and a 15-S.Fortunately not too expensive
