Hey, I'm that guy, exactly! A while back I started a thread about 1909-S vs. 1909-S VDB rarity: Why is 1909S VDB more expensive than 1909S? The...
Replacement for one that was more beat up and had less color (shown in post #4290). [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This is yet another approach for a specific purpose. The vendor presented this nickel as 1916 BUFFALO NICKEL- UNCIRCULATED !! LUSTER !! Yet these...
