<p>[QUOTE="dannic113, post: 1414406, member: 35203"]IMO (then again I'm a hard grader) the 09S barring any wear to the wheat grains (not the lines at top but the actual kernels of wheat) it's an MS brown. The wear on the left wheat head lines (rev) and cheek and jaw on the 14D put it at a strong Fine. VF may be stretching it at least from the pics. I also think I see some dirt or verdigris starting between the I and B in liberty...hope it's just dirt. The 31-S you are looking I'd say a XF+ it's a strong XF and may even get an AU. The AU would depend on how much wear is on the wheat kernels and how dark the coin is and if it takes a ding if someone thinks it looks "ugly". There is also the same as the 14-D in the word GOD and the U in trust. Again hope it's just dirt.</p><p>Grading I'd say the 09S is worth a shot seeing it looks MS and the higher it goes above 60 the better off you are with price. 14D may warrent it to try to get the VF or maybe even higher grade as it's worth more then. Also I notice a lot of 14-D's graded if nothing else because they are easily counterfeited by stamping a D but I don't think yours has that as an issue. The 31S again unless it doesn't look real I wouldn't bother. The supposed rule I've heard from dealers for grading is unless the coin is worth 5 times the submission fees + shipping/insurance (to and from) costs it isn't worth slabbing unless you are in very serious doubt of authenticity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
