<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 964159, member: 307&quot;]I hate to bring all of the celebration down for a second but I have a basic problem with this coin being a 1909-S VDB. The VDB is very possible, but the S mint mark that you point out in the original post is a tall and slim S mint mark. Therein lies the rub. All of the mint marks for 1909-S and 1909-S VDB were (according to the PCGS guide to Grading and Counterfeit Detection) &quot;struck with the same shape and style mint mark. It is a very square &#039;box-like&#039; S that contains a notch in the upper serif and a raised &#039;dot&#039; or lump in the upper loop.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>This mint mark is clearly not boxy and therefore the coin is not a genuine S VDB. Hate to be the killjoy, but I think you need to look at the mint mark again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
