<p>[QUOTE=&quot;masterswimmer, post: 7844992, member: 102022&quot;]I don&#039;t see anyone saying an unslabbed 1909-S VDB is sure to be fake and cannot be found in the raw. On the contrary, what is being said is that this particular coin is a target for counterfeiters. It is one of the most counterfeited coins on the market.</p><p><br /></p><p>With that being said, it is wise to scour with extreme prejudice and untold scrutiny any raw &#039;09-S VDB to ascertain it shows all markers of an authentic coin before making the purchase. The fact that you sent in your specimen for authentication and slabbing supports the claim that unslabbed specimens should be approached with undue caution.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully your coin is returned in a &#039;genuine&#039; and graded holder. That&#039;ll be one more authenticated, slabbed &#039;09-S VDB future buyers will have less apprehension to purchase. Good luck on the slabbing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
