<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1713428, member: 5233&quot;]My wife and I went out of town for my birthday over the weekend...we went to Atlanta to see my favorite baseball team (Braves) play and to visit the Georgia Aquarium, both things I have wanted to do for years.&nbsp; We got home on Monday (yesterday).&nbsp; We had a blast.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the way to the airport, my dad called and asked me if I was going to be around on Tuesday (my birthday).&nbsp; We live 100 miles apart and they were going to be passing through on their way to Seattle.&nbsp; He told me he had a birthday present for me...&quot;something that he had wanted to get me for a long time but couldn&#039;t afford to do so.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So, they stopped by today and gave me this.&nbsp; A 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent.&nbsp; They bought it from a local dealer who called it an XF/AU slider.&nbsp; He also noted a &quot;rim ding&quot; which I assume is the mark at 3 o&#039;clock but it looks more like something on the coin than a ding.&nbsp; Anyway, I&#039;m not an expert at Lincoln grading...but I think the XF/AU range is in the ball park.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think on grade?</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s17.photobucket.com/user/RichieB16/media/1909svdbobv_zps44d4db2c.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s17.photobucket.com/user/RichieB16/media/1909svdbobv_zps44d4db2c.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/1909svdbobv_zps44d4db2c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s17.photobucket.com/user/RichieB16/media/1909svdbrev_zps5648e387.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s17.photobucket.com/user/RichieB16/media/1909svdbrev_zps5648e387.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/1909svdbrev_zps5648e387.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
