What's the worst 09 S VDB you have?

I have a 12 year old autistic son who has put a collection of Lincoln Cents together. I would bring home bags of Junk Wheats for him to sort through to fill his album. When it got down to to the tough ones, I would salt a bag and give him the thrill of finding them. I had been on the lookout for a 09 S VDB that I could get cheap. One of the better known dealers in the east knew about this and found this one for me. Under 10X, you can make out the VDB. It appears to have been buried for some time and then cleaned with steel wool, but it fills the hole for a special kid. Anybody want to guess the price??

It took some imagination, but now that I know where to look, it's easy to see the V

Tha' Dang "S" fell off of her..!!!!!!
Hell, I don't need to exercise.....I get enough just pushing my luck.
If you could get a close up pic of the MM, then we could know if it's a real 09-S VDB or just a VDB.
I bought it probably 12 years ago or so when I first got back into collecting.....140.00 I think I paid. I sold it a few years back on ebay. It went over 300.00!!
Imagination my azz! You gotta be smokin' crack to see a "V", much less say it's easy to see it!

I think it depends on how much business your dealer does. If he does enough, he might've given it to you for free. I'd go with the crowd and say $100, though.
