my humble 1909 VDB

Hyperion

bought it slabbed (ANACS), cracked it for the 7070 for fear of getting a counterfeit...
On day Ill get a nice camera and light setup, but until then....

Nice coin, what grade did ANASC have it slabbed?

I'm little confused, why would you think that might be counterfeit?

Counterfeit? Why? An SVDB I understand, but this? Even the '09-P without VDB is more valuable in this condition than one with VDB...

nah, that came off wrong, I went for a slabbed coin as opposed to trying for anything raw due to the possiblity of encountering a counterfeit, though I guess that's more likely with the "S" mint, since these are more common.

ANACS: MS 63 RB (Cert# 1459087)

I like the looks in-hand, but the back has a print on it (looks like a print to me)

Im trying to stick with slabbed these days, using a combo of what I think looks attractive with the slab for insurance, I haven't the honed sensibilities of some on the board

Believe it or not, a counterfeit 09 VDB might actually sell more as a counterfeit than the real McCoy. Legal or not, counterfeit coins are collectibles in their own right.
