If we took the magic, excitement, and hopeful anticipation out of the hobby and went purely by the population charts, the life would be sucked out...

Just as Want To Sell / Buy is a separate category, it feels like @Silver Searcher has invented a new genre, too. I like the idea of a separate...
One year, four basic designs on the reverse, but struck from two different materials. The mint also struck each of the four as proofs. The bottom...
That's great - I was collecting at that age by searching through rolls. I had a small break from collecting once I went off to college, but got...
Well darn, I've seen lots of trolls and this sure don't feel like no troll to me... I mean, it's not like this is a controversial topic...
Sounds like it to me. There may be more experienced members than me who know if there are other diagnostic details that can be used if you don't...
Just some, but none of the copper ones do. This was the first year for these clad coins and it looks like there were occasional problems getting...
Please do!!! Now that I have bought mine, go ahead and drive the mint state price up to 4x the 1909S VDB price. I would be very pleased. Pretty...
Some of the zinc versions had problems with the new cladding process, while others are just fine. This happens sometimes with the zincs. Notice...
If I had known you guys were going to settle on 1913, I would have saved my post (#5085) for later!
Not only that, but there are still plenty of raw 09 VDBs in upper grades, like mine. I guess the mystique remains strong - they were interesting...
I did suspect those might be carbon spots on the reverse. Before I took the plunge I took a long look at them in the photo. I think they are dirt,...

Thanks! (And thanks @BadThad for making VerdiCare, or this would not be possible.) I am hoping that the AU53 grade was due to the green hazing....
Thanks. I will try to update the thread with pics when it arrives. (But I am a lousy photographer.)
This makes sense to me. All the albums give a spot to each of the coins with a popular mystique. And that reinforces it even more.
I was searching about 12-15 years later and didn't find anything that great. Yet I think it's consistent. When we roll-searched we saw a sampling...
It was much, much less - I researched it pretty hard. And there isn't a VDB in my plans, nor 22 no D, nor 55 DDO. I like to have something a...
From the NGC site: "Always treated as a poor relation to its predecessor having the initials V.D.B., the 1909-S cent without initial is actually...
