Wow, really good coin week over there!

Great condition on the VDB. Possibly too great, you should have it verified.

I guess the better question is, Is Franklin for hire? :)

Heck yeah! A Nice one. I was sorting through my pre-20 bin and rolling stuff up last night and I picked out a few 09vdb's that I had in there, but none of them hold a candle to that one.

Bully!
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

I got home and ran the $50 FV of rolls Franklin cracked to find the 1909 VDB through the sorter only and it was about $49 of zinc and $1 of copper.
