<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LEG END, post: 1015725, member: 26139&quot;]I remember stories from a dealer in Florida that stated that he knew of many collectors who still had GEM BU rolls of 09 S VDB cents in their collections. The novelty of a cent that was not an Indian Head prompted many to hoard. 400,000 plus coins were available, and with so many attuned to the new cent, it&#039;s likely these are those cents from those rolls, maybe some of them, that he spoke of. I believe y&#039;all are right about the 66 examples driving the prices down. I wouldn&#039;t spend 35,000 on a 66 for one reason. When I was young, I had just such a cent. They were plentiful in coin circles in the 1970&#039;s. Mine was at least a 66. I sold it for five dollars, along with a full bell 1916-d dime. We had no food, as I recall. But if a 14 year old had one, they gotta be more common than folks think. Caveat oversold. Made that one up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
