    The seller had claimed in the description that they had inherited the coin from their father after he passed away, bla.....bla.... but here is the kicker, they stated they had several of them but the one listed was in really nice condition. Now, they could have meant they had several more Lincoln's cents in general, or they could have been saying they have a several 09SVDB's??
    I almost missed seeing the listing for this one because it was listed as a 1909 s Lincoln Cent, not a 1909S-VDB.
    Another one down!
    Another group effort!
    We know that just one we save some from getting a $700.00 PLUS burning.

    Wrong style "S" for "starters".

    I guess that's why the auction became an "ender". ;)

    Pete, if you look on the reverse about halfway up the inside line of the Wheat ear you can see a BUMP, that's a counterfeit die chip marker.
    Then the deep valley "N" in UNITED.
    and the cobbled up rim.
    But, that die chip marker is it for the coin for sure!
