<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1303946, member: 19423&quot;]Saw a 1909 VDB on eBay recently with a pretty poor photo... but based on what I could see, I knew it had some nice original toning so I bought it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, the seller just put the slab loose in a thin bubble mailer w/o any other protection.&nbsp; That doesn&#039;t always work and you really need to pack slabs in some sort of cardboard mailer inside of the bubble mailer if you want to prevent them from showing up like this:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1909vdbcrackedobv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1909vdbcrackedrev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sort of a bummer as it would cost nearly more than the coin is worth to get PCGS to reholder the coin ($10 fee + $8 handling + shipping both ways).&nbsp; Fortunately, the coin appears undamaged.&nbsp; Still waiting to hear back from the seller regarding this matter...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
