[QUOTE="Specksynder, post: 846371, member: 22410"]I am responsible for imprisoning one of the few remaining 1909 S-VDB in the wild. This puppy has been a raw coin for over 100 years, but now rests securely in an ANACS slab. Some of you may have seen the post I made a while back about a 1909 S-VDB found in my granddad's collection that was returned fake. Well, this coin was found in a Dansco folder (not album/binder, FOLDER -- ARGH!). The dealer shipped it off and it came back authenticated. It is VF-20 with details (and I mean DETAILS!). The label says [LIST] [*]Weak VDB [*]Corroded [*]Cleaned [/LIST] But it's still the real thing. Enjoy the pics: [IMG]http://www.ideasite.net/coins/svdbcase1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.ideasite.net/coins/svdbcase2.jpg[/IMG] Can you see the VDB? It is definitely weak. But it is much more obvious now in the slab than before. It first I thought they handed me the wrong coin, it is so much easier to see the VDB now. [IMG]http://www.ideasite.net/coins/svdb1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.ideasite.net/coins/svdb2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.ideasite.net/coins/svdb3.jpg[/IMG] This pic is closer to the dark bronze color the coin has in hand.[/QUOTE]
