harshly cleaned maybe I think it was sandpaper and comet cleanser! lol

They even used Bonamie!

holy cow

 

That mean old die crack stopped the S from being put on that coin. Hmm - $15 dollars for a cleaned ground down 1908 - yep a bargain in my book - for the seller.

 

I was waiting for that reply. Yep it's a harshly cleaned 1908. That's no die crack and no S mintmark.

 

I think it may have been a poor attempt to forge an S mintmark on the coin at one point.

 

That would be my guess.

Yeah, the die crack caused the S to fall off.

Rare variety: S fell off!

 

If it were a little cheaper, I'd buy it just for an oddity.

 

yeah, like a buck!

 

I don't think they cleaned the coin.

I think they used the coin to clean something else... like maybe scrub dirt off those cool spinning hubcaps. :rolling:

 

the blob/MM is not even close to the place where the S should be, which is way off to the right

 

oh come on! And I have a blank planchet that is a 1909-S VDB 100% offstrike!

 

LOL-- Love it!

Can I bid?

 

Sure you can bid on it - but its real rare! This maybe the only one! no set is complete without one!!!!

 

Wow I missed such a great buy. I could of got a real bad 08p worth 50 cents for 15 Bucks, Oh well mayby he will relist this treasure.
