1909 VDB New purchase

Picked this beauty up today from Charmy (the penny lady) at the 2010 FUN show. Has a beautiful blue tone to it, but I can't quite get all the colors from the reverse. The reverse has some gold, purple, and tons of blue on it. For now these photos will do. One of the 9's in the date has a small bit of gunk in it, but overall I like it.


Tell me what you think.

Looks nice, congrats!!

I recently bought a similar looking 65BN VDB and I really like it. I also have a couple of 64BN VDBs that are pretty cool, but I'm still not giving up the RD and RB coppers

 

I like it!

When you get tired of it, you can send it to me.

 

Found the pics of my MS65BN, sort of hard to get nice photos of colorful brown copper:

 

Its a heck of a coin in hand

 

Was a pleasure meeting you Dutchman.

 

Likewise

 

After about an hour of trying to capture better photos, this coin finally whopped up on me. This coin has so much more color than the photos lead you to believe. I didn't know copper was so hard to capture.

 

None harder!

 

Man those are both beautiful coins!! I envy you guys.

 

Very nice example! There are some super values to be found in BN coins.

 

Not trying to hijack this thread, but I remembered that I had another PCGS MS65BN VDB too. This one isn't quite as colorful as the OP's coin or the other 65BN that I posted, but it was a nice bonus that the previous owner paid for a PCGS TrueView photo:

 

WOW - I think all of them are nice coins. Very nice coins.

 

I would have to agree, Congrats on a nice pick up!!

 

Very nice pickup!!!:kewl:

 

Really nice -- who says brown copper isn't beautiful?

 

I never looked twice at them before I saw this guy. I'm starting to think they are growing on me. One of the reasons why I wanted to start a typeset collection is so that I could experience new items that I normally wouldn't purchase. I'm really enjoying the typeset collecting.

 

This coin looks pretty nice.....

 

I remembered this thread about some very nice gem brown 1909 VDBs so I figured I'd add a photo I recently took of some of them I have in my collection:

 

very nice.
