[QUOTE="kanga, post: 2125319, member: 9270"]This is a 1909 VDB Lincoln I broke out of an MS-65 holder a long time ago. I've shown it to Angel Dee's and Andy said [paraphrased] yes, it's authentic and unaltered but MS-64. Here are the best images I can do (and they are large): [IMG]http://www.dcderoo.com/1909_VDB-o.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.dcderoo.com/1909_VDB-r.jpg[/IMG] Note the parallel lines across the coin (easier to see on the reverse). They are the result of die polishing. [B]Best Evidence[/B]: The lines run right up to then over the devices. Abrasive cleaning would leave an untouched "halo" around the devices. And I'm not dumb enough to say "Andy sez" without him actually having said that. What's the chance that I will get buyers that will believe what I say (I won't use the statement by Andy) is the truth? And at MS-64 it doesn't have enough value to get slabbed.[/QUOTE]
