What do you guys think the photos are not the best i know

Nice coin. I'll give you a hundred bucks for it!!

Looks like die #4, can you get a close up of VDB?

Did you find it or purchase it?

My son Franklin is missing that one and the 1922 Plain you want to make a trade for copper cents 1959-1982 for your 1909-S VDB.

i will try to get a close up. I was missing it also so dont want to trade or sell. Yes ndfarmer i bought it from a friend at what i think was a good price

I would say it grades close to an EF. Sure wish I had friends like that, that would sell me one of those for a good price. A very nice coin to add to your collection.

I actually think a vf-25 or 30 on the grade. its my last expensive one since i am vetoing the 1922 no D i only have like 6 more to go and they are the cheap ones

davisfad,

Feel free to add this to my "free PCGS grading" contest if you like.

Personally I love to hear people say they are vetoing the 22- no D cent.
They are nothing but a hyped up over abraded coin like the 3 legged buffalo.
It doesn't belong in the lincoln collection anyhow. If it did we would have to
add the other hundreds of over abraded coins to complete our collections

This coin is a perfect candidate to get graded.

The king of Lincolns!

Pictures are always so tough to judge coin condition. Below are some pics of a PCGS XF40 1909-S VDB for comparison purposes.

I don't know what the backward 'S' in front of Lincoln's face is on your coin, but it may be ungradeable due to it. It sort of looks like surface damage to me. Much on your coin looks to be XF quality, with maybe just a little more hair detail needed. That aspect would probably keep it from getting XF, so a high VF is what I think you might get. Also, can't tell too well from your pics, but perhaps the wheat detail is a little washed away, too.

As to the 1922P we are filling the hole as George Mallory said on climbing Mt. Everest why are you doing it? "Because it's there". So Dansco put a hole for it so Franklin and I will try to fill it.

What six do you need? You never know how might have an extra!

i need a 10-s, 12-s, 14-s 15-s, 24-d, 33-d, and i guess another 22 d to fill the no d hole
