    It is a VF30. I am also looking at a couple XF and an AU. Seems price wise, I will be looking $750ish for VF, $875ish for XF or $1,000ish for AU. I really like this one though. I feel it is nice for VF. Screenshot_20200102-195948_eBay.jpg

    All that said, this VF looks nicer than some of the XF.

    And then there is this XF45 with the "CAC" sticker. Not into the CAC craze but hey. Lol Screenshot_20200102-203037_eBay.jpg

    Decisions, decisions. Any input/advice? :)

    looks like these two are nice, wholesome coins for their grades. I would continue to look..make some offers. It seems now it is only a matter of price. Most importantly...learn grading and get something that is appealing to your sense of quality/appeal....but, yes, if funds permit these coins or ones similar to them would be what i would look for in a nice circulated cent.

    I really like the appeal of this cent. There is also a MS62 that could be had for $1,350. I'm just trying to decide if the extra $355 is worth it to me. Lol

    I really like this coin! 1909-S VDB AU55.

    I now have:

    1909-S VDB
    1909-S
    1914-D
    1931-S

    I am done for awhile. I will enjoy what I have and enjoy watching others. I will get better pictures when it comes in!

    My collection has started off different than the vast majority of others I am sure. I know most start of with common dates and CRHing but I decided to start with the key dates. I am now going to slowly begin collecting others as I find good deals. I am also taking quite an interest in Indian Heads, Mercury Dimes, Peace Dollars, and Liberty V Nickels. Anywho, this is where my key dates stand currently and I am very pleased! I do, however, feel the need to get a 1922 Plain at some point after tax return.
