I wonder if there still exists an OBW of 1909-S VDB? That would be cool as heck.
Well. I found about $11 worth of melt from the photos, maybe less if the one coin is not. If it is, I will have ended up paying 12 cents each...

According to krause, it's worth $130 in XF. I would say maybe $80.
Hard to tell from the photo. I may bid more if I can get an answer....
I've actually soaked some old copper coins in acetone before, and it made them look "dried out" as if the patina lightened slightly.
Unless you want to order the expensive spinks catalog out of the UK, the only other viable reference is to lug around the Krause Catalog.
I'm thinking about spending a greater deal of my winter time researching and writing a book on Great British coins. Thing is, I would like to...
But..were they minted later on, or were they minted on the years shown?
The gaming tokens I see on eBay all the time from the 1700s, are those real? They are all mostly in great condition and go for nothing.
That's why I find world coin collecting more appealing. I disregard demand. I wouldn't get a "warm and tingling feeling" buying a MS60 1909S-VDB...
VG-10, not enough detail for it to be a F-12. I hope you didn't pay "retail" for it. Problem free bust halves can be had for retail. I've...

Actually I found the feedback left for the auction:
Theres 20 halves in a roll, if they were all walkers, wouldn't you of realized it the second you were handed them?
I third it.
Ok. I compared the ebay coin to a real 1853-O no arrows and rays. The auction coin is infact a tooled coin. The real date is on top. As you can...
It would very difficult to counterfeit a worn coin, and I can tell you with all certainty the coin ITSELF is real. Now whether or not there was...
