[QUOTE="tbarreca, post: 1472520, member: 21275"]>> There would be no point in certifying the VDB, the cost would exceed the value. [LEFT][COLOR=#000000] With all due respect, I believe this is just plain wrong. I think the 09-S VDB is correctly graded at VF-20 details, surface damage. I'd wager even with that on the label, the coin would be worth at least $600 or so, and maybe more. Even if it costs $30 to "certify" it, that's only 5% of the value of the coin. And the slab would greatly improve the probability of getting what the coin is worth. Probably a + $100 difference, I'd guess. I think that a previous commenter was right about the grade of the 09-S being VF-30. I'd bag the 14-D. Get what you can out of it, hopefully what you have in it at least. [/COLOR][/LEFT][/QUOTE]
