[QUOTE="illini420, post: 658428, member: 19423"]I think $5k is a great price on a very nice 1909-S VDB in PCGS MS65RD... just not sure the coin here is one of the very nice examples. The pics aren't good enough to buy a $5k coin off of in my opinion and there's definitely a carbon spot or other discoloration to the right of the top of the right wheat ear that significantly decreases the coins value at the 65RD level. 65RD SVDBs are plentiful and you should be patient in trying to find a nice one. It's a coin that I wouldn't want to buy on eBay unless there were several awesome pics and the price was right. This is where finding a dealer who knows the look of coin that you like would be of assistance as there are lots of really nice 65RDs out there, but there are also a bunch of bad ones. For reference, I bought my 65RD in my 1909 Set (linked in my sig line) for $6k last year from Eagle Eye while the market was a bit hotter, but I still think I got it at a bargain price at the time since other nice examples were going for $7k and above at the time. Good luck :)[/QUOTE]
