    I was at a coin show and I had bought a 1909s vdb for 25$ uncirculated condition and it's a copy of the coin just can't afford the real deal wish I could but is it worth getting graded Maby someday it will be worth something

    Grading a copy or replica (which no legitimate TPG will grade anyway) would be an absolute TOTAL waste of money.

    Here's where it came from - draw your own conclusions:

    If you bought it for $25, you have already paid too much. If it is even copper, it's worth $0.02. The dealer should be ashamed of himself for even selling copies.

    When something numismatic is too good to be true, it's usually no good and not true. :jawdrop:

    $25 is a lot for a copy. That same money could buy a nice Lincoln in a good slab.

    No need to pile on, OP already feels bad to lose a week's coin budget. But it's also a mistake he's unlikely to make again. I'd like to see him notify the Show Manager of this incident.
