I'm 99% sure this thing is fake and not even made of gold. Color is off, strike is too weak, and casting bubbles.
Die chips are very common on 50s Lincolns. On an unrelated note, I have two 51-S wheats that I think were struck from the same die pair, and found...

The 09-S VDB is a common coin with about 50k survivors today. (PCGS Coinfacts) I can only see 100 coins temporarily driving down the price if they...
