THE 1909 CLUB

[exbingoaddict]

This one came from a coin counter machine reject bin. It may have rejected it but I was happy to take it in.

[Thogey]

Wow ! that's a really sharp one. Cool

I found a 1909 VDB last night in my sorting..not sure what to do with it, any reason to send it to get graded?

[uthminsta]

you could send it to me to grade it.
but sheesh professional grading is pretty expensive. what condition is it in?

[Spikeanator6982]

I really don't know enough about grading to say a grade, it seems to me, its not worn to much, but it does have a darker color with some spotting lighter color on the face especially.

[exbingoaddict]

Spikeanator,

Great find! Welcome to the 1909 club.

Take a photo and post it and ask for opinions on grades. Much cheaper then PCGS or NGC. There's some good graders here such as Market Harmony.

Most collectors don't brother to get a graded slab unless the value tops $200 to $300 dollars. Which in the 1909 VDB would be a MS 66 Red to MS 67 Red Brown.

Found my first 1909 p 3-6-11in a $50.00 bag

[uthminsta]

I came close to being a member. I got a 1909 plain in a roll of wheats I bought for a buck-fifty. Barely over melt value.

Just got my first 1909 V.D.B from a $25 box. I took it to my local coin dealer and he said "eh, nice find but not worth anything". Its in rough shape, not dinged or scratched just dark brown with some greenish buildup on it. I still think its cool to find one in circulation since its 102 years old and there probably arent many of them still floating around.

Slightly offtopic (not a circulation find) but I bought a 1909 half sovereign from a member here this week, nice looking coin.

Well... after 2 months plus, this thread has been updated. I'm still scanning the pre-40 Lincoln threads and finding a few that weren't posted here... so far I see:
henrysmedford with a 1909 (2nd of 3) on 2/10
kestrelia with a VDB on 3/15
kestrelia with a 1909 on 4/1
dave with a 1909 on 4/27
Those four finds will now be incorporated into this thread.
