i found this cent in a mixed lot that i got on the bay. You can see the 19 and half the 0 and the s. However there is some very bad corrosion where the other half of the 0 and the 9 is supposed to be. Also on the back i think there is a very slight top of the vdb. The back is very worn so im not sure. And its been cleaned. Does this have any value at all?
Jon, If it is an '09-S VDB even in AG or P condition it would be worth having authenticated and graded.
It's probably real and would get over $100 on ebay, possibly more. You might want to get it authenticated. Keys have value even if they are barely discernible.
