Hello All;
I just got this coin out for a charity auction, and my Brother took pictures for me over the 4th weekend. I've had this coin for years, but never saw it w/ such detail as the pictures. It looks just like a S over Horizontal S, which I don't think is possible. There are no tooling marks, and the patina/toning is even and original.
I submitted it PCGS, and I made it shared. The # is 112831 if you want to watch. Here's the link for the pictures, sorry, I don't know how to post on site. If someone wants to you have my permission and appreciation.

It's the holy grail of Lincolns. .I don't know enough about the mint mark to really comment on but I'm sure someone will shed some light on the matter.All I can really do is take a jab at the grade.Vf-20 IMHO.Very nice coin you have there

First, I apologize, but I did copy/paste from the PCGS forum site. I'm looking for input there too.

Hey All;
OK, back from PCGS, we know it IS authentic. Now what?!? I have a possible S over Horizontal S VDB! (Yes, you are right...There is no such thing! [Yet])! At minimum, we have a Machine Doubling, at best, we have a new, 5th dye for the 1909 S VDB w/ a Horizontal S, (Which would be INCREDIBLE!).
Where would you go, and what would you do from here? Look at the pics, and let me know what you think.


I made it shared @ PCGS, but here is the Cert # again... 20416472

I feel this S-VDB is really special, and I would really like any input or advice. Thanks again
