The 1909 S VDB I found this post on "The 1909 S VDB" interesting and have nominated it accordingly for "Coin Talk Thread of the Week Nominations...
Thanks. Yeah, they are fun. It's been a long time. There's a huge difference between trying to decipher pics on ebay and actually being able to...
Could somebody explain this in more detail? Is this an instant rebate or do you have to pay the money up front and wait 6 months for the rebate?...
Yes it's a MS-63. I have another one that's loose as well but this one has a much better strike on the reverse and much cleaner. They were...
BTW, the Franklin has got to be REAL close to FBL. The dealer didn't even talk it up as such but they are very pronounced. I should try to get a...
Yeah, it was a good day in Dubuque, Ia. They had a coin show going on at the greyhound park & casino, and on the other side of town there was a...
I know. I don't expect to get full retail value. I would be reasonable. It's up to me to take some loss if I want to put older pieces towards...
I've got a few NGC slabbed MS-63,64 Morgans that I wouldn't mind parting with/upgrading to something else. Are dealers typically open to trades...
Yeah, you're probably right. I've put together the full P & D set up to '08, in mostly MS. I'd like to see a new design though.

Thanks for the reply. The thing is, I'm not looking for a more costly one. I just want a nice example of one, without trying to collect them...
I'm 28 and just getting back in the hobby so I really don't know that much about what went on. I know I read that people were going nuts over...
Well, good point. We've been stuck on a lot of pretty plain designs for a long time. I can't get that excited over the presidential dollars....
You can't please everybody. I actually like seeing some new ideas. The old designs will always be classic but they're getting worn out IMO. You...
I'll tell you tomorrow. Going to a show tomorrow myself. I might just take some bullion with me as an experiment and see what I'm offered,...
Were you being sarcastic or serious? Sometimes hard to tell on a forum with some people.
Not to mention they sell these for 10.95. It's not likely that they're going to get quite the same level of care as a 1 oz. platinum proof....
Are you talking about the condition of this coin or complaining about the design? I bought the halves in a PF70 and MS70 NGC slabs. No...
People who are buying worthless paper contracts. That must be about right for the going rate compared to the supply of the printed paper....
Hey man, don't worry about it. It wasn't strictly directed at you. It's also a carry over from my $5 gold thread where everybody tries to tell...
Separate names with a comma.
