you are always welcome but leave Harvey at home

 

I can see the VDB and ther are traces of something below the date but I don't think it is in the right place. I'm thinking what you might have is an 09 VDB that someone added an S to which has since fallen off.

 

i dont know spock, I see the VDB but no S....

 

I see a fuzzy S there just right of the 0. Is that where it's supposed to be? Maybe you can hold a 10X against the lens and try to get us a clearer closeup.

 

Spock, there is supposed to be a tiny die gouge just inside the obv. rim between the R and U of trust, and a die chip inside the B of liberty. If you can see these, it confirms that it is an S vdb, but if they aren't there it doesn't mean it isn't one.(PCGS guide, 2nd ed, p.307).

 

thank god at least you can see something. i thought i was imagining it

 

u r d man now thats what i am talking about ill go look for those. thanks

 

yikes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yikes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yikes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i can see those. if you are sure should i send it off to pcgs then?

 

Sorry Spock , hope I'm wrong but doesn't look like any '09-S-VDB I've ever seen .

Ishould of put in I'm no expert on Lincolns , but I've seen quite a few and never seen one that week , not to say I could be wrong , But the ding on the obverse rim I can see , so I'll keep my mouth shut and let the experts help you , good luck good buddy .

It does say that those 2 dings if they are there go a long way to confirming it as authentic.

 

you can see the ding on the obverse rim. if you can see it then i will send it to pcgs first thing monday morning for express grading. lmk if you are positive

 

I thought the ding was supposed to be "on" the rim but the PCGS book shows iton the field coming from the rim , it runs almost parralel to the rim , check it with your loupe , stronger the better at least 10-20X .

 

any pics i dont have the book

 

Harvey still thinks Jack is correct.......

 

DOUG is there any way you could enlarge the area between the R & U of trust , and the B of liberty for us to see them better .

Sorry Spock but no scanner , but it's right in between the R & U on the field right next to the inside of the rim .

Also there is a die chip on the inside of the top loop of the B in Liberty .
