Message:: [QUOTE="Pennycase, post: 20464, member: 1141"]I really didn't pay close enough attention to see that my thread was still going on lol, anywho, this was about 3 weeks ago that this happened, I did not have the money to purchase it, but, I had seen something that I don't think very many people paid attention to, it was an auction for a 1909 S wheat penny, now, the thing about this is, is that on the reverse, I could clearly see a V.D.B. Now one thing to confirm that at least a couple of other people saw this, was the fact that it sold for around 180.00, in F-12 condition. One thing I have been curious about, was if the buyer actually got a 1909 S VDB in Fine condition for 180 bucks... Anything is possible I suppose. OH! and back on topic now, my recent purchase was for an 1856 Seated liberty quarter in EF condition for 13.50, that includes shipping costs, nice original piece, there is a small rim nick at 2:00, but, overall, I think I got a good deal... Man, there are a lot of type coins right now that just aren't doing so hot, here is what I have been seeing not doing so well, and this applies to all grades even mint state coins. Barber dimes, barber quarters, seated half dimes, mercury dimes, seated dimes, seated quarters. I watched a very nicely toned seated dime that looked like a strong ms-63 go for little over 100.00, regardless of date, that to me was a major steal.[/QUOTE]
