Your thoughts on this 1909 VDB?

I'm a newbie and would like this for my type set but I just want to be sure I'm not missing any obvious problems. The horizontal line on the obverse is the holder. They are asking $63.

Looks like a nice example. MS65?

 

I think I paid $110 for a graded one NOT as nice as this one a couple of years ago.

Go for it

 

It's a lovely coin. I agree every bit with @McBlzr, it's an easy $100+ coin. I wouldn't even think of trying to bargain with this guy, he's asking a very fair price.

 

I would go for the 65RB. That price seems about right for a raw coin.

 

Really? Maybe the extreme, but still .....

 

Thanks y'all. This helps a great deal. I always second guess myself.

 

You're not factoring in the market intangibles. BTW, I'll agree they'll give it RB. But this boy could take off. And one PCGS MS66RB that undersold the PCGS Price Guide by a whopping 50% is well one MS66RB that let me put it this way undersold the PCGS Price Guide by a whopping 50%. This coin's a killer, by my price guide.

 

And I paid $130 for an NGC MS66. Granted, it was not the nicest 66 I have, but still.

 

Never underestimate the market intangibles when they're this handsome. This has good potential, in my opinion. I can see it topping out at MS66RB, but it's got more Red than most RBs, and that luster I'd describe as "bouncing."

 

Looks like a proof to me....

 

I would buy it at a 64 price.

 

Dont start that again....

Looks like a very nice VDB, the pictures show the luster well.

 

yes I saw it at both sites. wow..

 

Pretty coin. Looks like it has lots of luster. I'll guess 65RB from that image.
