1909 S VDB Upgrade.

I just received this coin today!

AJ purchased a MS 64 RB 1909 S VDB at the Long Beach coin show last Fall. Keep in mind he simply purchased it for me and didn't make anything on the transaction. I saw a MS 65 RB 1909 S VDB on his website and expressed my interest. To my surprise he offered me what I paid for the MS 64 RB 1909 S VDB from Long Beach. His response to this was "When I spend your money, I spend it as if it were mine. I thought the coin was worth it....period." Thanks AJ!!!!!!

Now back to my New MS 65 RB 1909 S VDB. This coin is what dreams are made of. I think AJ's photos speak for themselves.

You know. . . this must be said: the 1909 S VDB is such a fabled, admired and desired coin that it really stands high among many collectors, even above coins with a higher price tag! It really IS the quintessential collectible coin.

Real nice. You cannot go wrong dealing with AJ.

However, I am curious why you did not show us your new variety. That MS 64 RB 1090 S VDB must be a one of a kind!

LOL. Now thats an old Lincoln. I guess I should proof-read my posts better. Spell check doesn't work with numbers.

This one came with it. Not a 1090 though.

I'd like to upgrade my 1909-S VDB cent, too. I'd like to go from not having one to having one.

Nice coin.
Beats the heck out of my AU-55.
But that's the best I could do.

Wow, what a stunning coin - way to go! Looks like it's 95% red too! And big kudos to Jack for being so fair with taking back the MS64 - he is one of the best coin dealers I know, really!

I know PCGS passed this coin so it has to be good, but that "S" looks a bit funkey to me.
