Your thoughts on a grade for this 1909 VDB

[Ducksoup]

I found this 1909 VDB in a grab bag and was wondering what you guys thought it might grade.. I know the pictures aren't perfect so a rough guess is fine with me. Thanks for looking!

I would say about VF25

The coin looks to have some PVC on the reverse.

Should I soak it in acetone to remove that?

Yes I would do that .

If the left wheatlines are incomplete as shown, then VG-10. Otherwise, Fine-something.

[BillJones]

Somewhere in the VG-10 to Fine-12 range. The obverse appears to be a little weak for a Fine.

[Ducksoup]

Thanks everyone for your input, I'd graded it roughly the same (Maximum grade of Fine). I will be soaking it in acetone for a bit to see about removing that spot on the front. Oddly enough, I went back to the dealer I bought the grab bag from and got another bag... and another 1909 VDB which I will be trading to my dad for some stuff he has that I don't. Good hunting everyone.

If you want to see a nice example of a 1909 VDB, check out what rexcat has listed for sale in the marketplace. It's under a couple of other coin pics he's selling, but it's uber nice.

This one was taken from a PCGS MS-65 RD holder:

Here is one in NGC MS-65, Red. I think this one is a little nicer, no offense James.

since we are comparing 65R, I'm kind of partial to mine.

What are they worth MS 68 graded?

What are they worth MS 68 graded?

 

According the PCGS price guide, $20,000. PCGS has graded one at that level.

 

I would not touch a coin like that with a ten foot poll. One spot and you are dead.

What are they worth MS 68 graded?

 

 

somewhere between 20 cents and $15 K

 

 

depends alot on who does the grading
