<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1012290, member: 19423&quot;]As a collector of 1909 coins, I too noticed the listings of the particular eBay seller.&nbsp; If you search the PCGS certification numbers of the slabs being sold (and the numbers near those already listed) you&#039;ll see several MS66RD 1909-S VDB cents and a few grading MS66+RD.&nbsp; Based on the certification number searches, I&#039;d guess he has around 20 of them in MS66RD and about 5 in MS66+RD, and a bunch of MS65RDs as well.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would guess that the owner already had these coins in PCGS holders and recently sent them in for Secure Plus regrades in an attempt to upgrade some with + grades.&nbsp; The other possibility is that the owner had a very nice original roll lying around and submitted it for grading and got back some awesome grades.&nbsp; I would guess that isn&#039;t the case and that they are just regrades given that I didn&#039;t notice the PCGS population reports make a significant jump in 66RD.&nbsp; Also, I would be surprised someone would still have an original roll lying around after 100+ years and after 25+ years of professional grading being available.&nbsp; In any event, the seller definitely has a nice hoard of very high end examples of the key date Lincoln Cent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
