Nice looking coin. I always wonder why the heck someone would have something like this lying around unslabbed. What do you think is going on next to the rim at 8:00? http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-S-VDB-Linc...mQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item439d2001b9
That is a carbon spot, there's a couple on the reverse also. It is not struck through anywhere I can see. I love those woodies.
That's great southern coins... god knows what lighting/camera trickery they employed in taking those pics.
I do not see it being struck through anything either. I see the carbon spots, but I do not think they will keep it from being slabbed. I suspect that it has been cleaned. I am a sucker for woodies. I still like it. Anyone want to give it to me? BTW, I do not trust GSC anymore than the man in the moon, but they do have enough experience that I believe that they would not sell a counterfeit coin - at least knowingly.
Exactly, their pictures are deceiving. There's a reason a coin like this is not slabbed....and it's not because it's never been submitted.
