<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1347398, member: 19423&quot;]First, congrats on getting a pretty decent looking 1909 VDB!&nbsp; :thumb:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you submitted that coin to PCGS, it would grade either MS64RB or MS65RB, it would go no higher based on the small contact marks in the fields and on the luster of the coin.&nbsp; There is also a 50-50 shot in my opinion that PCGS would call the coin ungradable based on the scratch on the obverse on Lincoln and would put it in a Genuine holder marked as damaged.&nbsp; Assuming the best case scenario, if the coin graded MS65RB or even MS65+RB, the coin would be worth $80-$100 or so.&nbsp; The grading fees for a single coin submitted would be approximately $40-$50 (which includes the shipping each way).&nbsp; Additionally, you must pay an annual membership fee to submit to PCGS.&nbsp; Accordingly, submitting this coin for grading doesn&#039;t seem worthwhile to me unless you are already a member of PCGS and have a free submission voucher.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even if you got really lucky and they called it MS66RB, it would be worth $150-$175 and would still not justify the significant grading costs.</p><p><br /></p><p>On a side note, PCGS has only certified a single 1909 VDB at the 68 grade, a lone MS68RD.&nbsp; The word on the street is that the coin would not regrade 68 if resubmitted today and doesn&#039;t compare to most MS67 coins.&nbsp; So far, there are only two PCGS MS67+RDs out there, and I used to own one of them, but decided I&#039;m just as happy with the MS67RD that I have.&nbsp; For RB designated coins, the highest graded examples are three PCGS MS67RBs... and I have two of them <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
