It's not gold... keep guessing Brian... another hint is that the coin is in the Red Book.
The "S" is about as much of a hint as I can give regarding whether if it foreign or not... the mark above the "S" is not a digit.
You're 2/3 of the way there :) That last pic of a 1909-S I posted doesn't really look like an IHC or a Lincoln, does it?? ;)
Yeah thanks!!!.. I forgot these were listed in the greysheets... just looked up the 8-coin Liberty subset (proof & unc) and total Bid is up to...
Pretty close, but there are more than just Lincoln's there :) They are all dated 1909 :)
Thanks!! Yeah, both business strikes, the IHC is an MS66RD and the 1909 VDB is an MS67RD, both very high end for the grade and do look like brand...
Well after 102 years these two are still booooooooming with bright red color and each is just dripping with luster ;) [img] [img] Perhaps...
I'm about 90% done putting together my collector display for the Long Beach show, less than a week to go!!!! Hope many of you get to see my...
Based on the last set of photos I'm voting 95% against it being a proof. The I couldn't identify any of the 1909 VDB proof obverse diagnostics in...
Of course that makes sense for the 2011 coins and future issues, but you ain't going to get any of these from the Mint at Mint pricing anymore:...
I'm down to just my 8-coin Liberty set (the 4-coin set in unc and proof)... sold off the rest of them. And if I could find a buyer at those...
There's only a couple of us going to the show??? Come on, who else is coming??? The show is in a few days!!!!
I'm ready for the show!!! Nothing specific on my buy list, but if I happen to stumble across something I really like then I'm in! Going to the...
The Mint started producing the 1909 VDB proof first before they changed over to producing the 1909 non-VDB proofs. Most sources indicate that all...
Cool, but remember that it takes quite a bit more than a grainy or matte like surface texture for a coin to be certified as a genuine matte proof....
Thanks!!!!! I appreciate that! Yeah, sorry about making you and everyone else wait!! It got put on the side burner last summer as I was trying...
Would love to see your 1909 VDB that is potentially a proof :) Sounds like a cool story!
Back then proofs didn't come in fancy holder or even encased in plastic. You could either buy them from the Mint in person or have them mailed to...
Agreed, editing photos of others' coins without permission isn't really too cool (especially if you haven't seen it in hand) but it is also not...
Yeah, just lucky to be in the right place at the right time with the right amount of cash! The album sounded really cool, it wasn't a complete...
