Won this Lincoln on eBay. Was expecting a 1909 to arrive. Took my pic's and noticed it's a 1909 VDB. Any premium with something like this? Thanks.

    What do you think, Lee ? LOL.... I think you are a show off ~

    edit to respond:

    First off, I meant it as a way of saying you are teasing the crowd (not to insult). I said that because the first thing I did was check the price guide to see what a RB 65 '09 vdb was , compared to a RB 65 09.

    So, my first thought was : "surely he knows the difference in the price guide alone, the big show off "
    Then, my second thought was : Ooooh, a PCGS oversight, another value added blunder ( ten bucks)

    After that, I thought.... geeeeze , these people on the boards take such great pictures (my g/f just bought me a very expensive camera and I suck at it image.... what a show off.

    but since you asked a fair question, I thought I'd better come back and enlighten you as to where I was coming from when I made a comment like : " I think you are a show off ".

    image It's an honest question because I don't know. I was surprised when I noticed the VDB. Can you see it in the sellers pic? I sure couldn't. In what way do you feel I'm showing off?

    A while back someone was paying extra for cheap coins in error slabs. Say if you had a $10 coin in a "mechanical error" slab he would pay $15 or $20...

    Send it to PCGS along with a check for the difference in market value.

    Coxe: Both coins are worth about the same, but nevertheless, why would HE have to send a check to PCGS. It was THEIR fault, not his.

    Ah, I thought the Philly VDB was worth a little more. I was kidding on the check thing, I thought obviously.

    Regardless of the slab error, that sure looks like a lot of red in that RB.

    There is plenty of value over what the label says on your error slab.image
