Does anybody think this 09 svdb is MS-64?

Sure doesn't look like an MS-64 to me. How about you?

  • Horrible scan that does not show any of the details. Another coin that should be slabbed before being bought.

  • I looked at the seller's other auctions, specifically the Lincolns. Does anyone agree with this seller's
    grades. Don't all the coins appear similiar in color? Are they cleaned or dipped?

    I don't even see an "S" on that Lincoln and it's not a 64, maybe a VF...
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    One of the most sought after and expensive Lincolns and it's not certified. HMM...

  • True what Marty said.....where is the "S"?
  • You can't tell much by that picture. The seller is stupid. It is not even a 1909-S.
  • Please look at his other Lincoln auctions!!!! Appears to list coins as Red or RB and the scan or photo does not appear to match the coin. Hopefully somebody is not betting the farm on these coins!

    This seller has all the classic signs of someone to avoid.The photos aren't of the coin in the description and key dates not certified.Why???? I'm amazed anyone would even consider it. Look at Feedback.

  • I copied the picture and tried to sharpen it up to see the "S" and more detail..............not possible. I can't grade it from the scan, but I can see enough to know it's not a VF. The hair has almost full detail or full detail so it can't be less than an EF. The color is odd, but the scan is just so bad I can't tell if it's dipped or what????
  • Wait a minute guys...this seller is an Ebay Power Seller; therefore , we are all wrong and he is right no matter what. Ebay says so. image

    Take a look at his other auctions, almost all raw and very overgraded.
  • 1. I hate ipix. :-)

    2. I am having a hard time seeing an 'S' also. I think I see where one might be or might have fallen off from. image

    3. With that picture, it could be anywhere from a damaged, VF 1909 VDB to an MS-70 RD 1909-S VDB. Although I would guess closer to the former. image
