MJ Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Those are very nicely matched, must have come from the same album! Ironically I was negotiating the V.D.B when a collector/part time dealer I knew came to the same table. I asked him his opinion on the coin as I knew he collects Lincolns. He gave me a green light. I later saw him at his table and he pulled out the 1909. He said. "here's the sister to your coin", with a smile on his face.....MJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robec1347 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 What a great looking pair of 1909's. I can't decide which I like better. Probably the same coin with the VDB photoshopped out of the one. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCcoins Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 New Frankie What do you think it would grade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
physics-fan3.14 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Who's it graded by Jon? NGC - MS-65 PCGS - MS-65FBL Anyone else - MS-66 Whatever it is, I like it alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCcoins Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 It's Raw. I doubt it would even grade FBL at pcgs, the hit to the right of the crack would prevent that I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyMan Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 The strike is a little mushy, but the dings are minimal, the toning is quite good for the date/mm and it appears to have nice underlying luster. Border line 65-6 at both PCGS/NGC. Very attractive coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
physics-fan3.14 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 It's Raw. I doubt it would even grade FBL at pcgs, the hit to the right of the crack would prevent that I think. Ah, I didn't notice the hit the first time I looked at it. I thought it was a toning spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonitecomics Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I agree with others....MS65 shot 66 with better than avg color for the date....looks like someone stuck it in a 1957 or 1958 P-Mint set holder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpolz Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Been a while since I posted anything, 'course it's been a while since I bought anything. Come to think of it, I still haven't bought anything ... I got this from Teletrade using my Gold Rewards points. I've heard a lot of bad things about the free coins you get from them using GR and while this one isn't the nicest 64, I wouldn't try sending it to CAC, but it's really not a bad coin. What do you think? To be fair these pics are hiding a couple of minor flaws on the field. Still, I wasn't expecting something this nice -- or am I looking at this with rose colored glasses?

Elbesaar Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 You're a good son, Winston. That's a great Christmas present. ------------------------------------------ Chris - Things are going okay down here. I have not seen your posts lately. Still in Fort Myers ? Have not heard about any local shows there this year. Am looking forward to FUN in January. Anyone else going ? If so, I'm meeting a group of other Barber collectors at Denny's - 9880 International Dr - Thursday - Jan 7th @ 8:30. Send me a PM if you'd like to attend - so I can make a reservation for the correct number . ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- oh... just picked this up at Heritage... I'm a sucker for rim toning.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasrichard Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Nice coins all! I picked this macro lens up from a forum member: And that allowed me to re-shoot some of my coins, including this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfinder Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Gorgeos pic and coin there Texas! That's one of the lens I was considering. I would look forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbesaar Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Great pictures with that zoom lens. I think I need to take a course at the local Ritz Camera shop on using my Sony pocket camera - it takes a decent picture - but - I wish I had bought one to use on a camera stand... ------------------------------------------------ Stumbled accross this Half in PCGS 64 I've been searching for an upgrade to my AU 55 and really wanted an AU 58 [ they are nonexistant ! ] So...welcome to Elbesaar's collection ...
