If it were mine, I'd be sending this to NCS ASAP!

I thought of doing that but decided it's not a good choice of coin for the service.

It is what it is.

It is always a good idea to get a 1909-S-VDB certified. The coins are much tougher to sell raw, and you won't get a fair price for it. I think that this coin might benefit from a trip to NCS because some of the stuff on the reverse looks superficial. I think you might be surprised by the result.

 

The 1909-S-VDB I posted came with ANACS papers that graded it as a VF-20, which was clearly an under grade. It is now in an NGC EF40, with is much closer to the actual grade.

I worry the coin will come back some shade of pink but understand what you are saying.

[Keigwin]

It won't come back pink. If you did it yourself, it might. But I've had good luck with professional conservation of old copper. They know what they're doing.

Happy Birthday, Abraham.
