A big congratulations goes out to Bob Campbell aka robec. A 1909VDB PF64 BN that I had the pleasure of viewing at CSNS. Believe me brothers, it's all there.

Congrats Bob,

You landed the big one! Waiting for some of your pictures that I am sure will be nice.

Looks like all you need now is a stunning 1916 to finish off the other end of your set. hmmmm

cohodk · May 20, 2009 11:45AM

Sweet. Congrats Bob!!!!

Cant wait to see the pics.

ChrisRx · May 20, 2009 11:49AM

Wow. Cool beans. Congrats!

ChrisRx · May 20, 2009 11:56AM

Was this Andy's? If not was it in an auction? Any auction pics?

renomedphys · May 20, 2009 12:10PM

Saw it too. Congrats! I had my eye on that coin for my second set, but I'm glad you got it. Sounds like you're in like Flynn.

I won't be in your neck of the woods, you just won't have as far down to look.

I'm working to get some pics up, but this lap top is slow and I need more fingers.

Congrats Bob!

Gobrechts99Grapevine · May 20, 2009 12:44PM

You are one big sneak! What a coup!! I couldn't be happier for you!!!

robec · May 20, 2009 12:56PM

Curly was the middle man or the idea man with a plan. I'm no longer in the Proof Buffalo business, but the money spent on them was VDB money in the first place. It just finally landed where it was suppose to. Thanks for all the congrats, I never thought I would see the day. Thank you Jack for your suggestion, we are nerds aren't we? Rich, it wasn't really sneaky, just all of a sudden. I'm as shocked as you.

Here are a couple of images. I've got more, but they are still in the camera. I was pleasantly surprised with the luster on both sides. The reverse also has some nice red toning all around, but especially around the wheat ears.

MS68 · May 20, 2009 2:46PM

Bob,
Congratulations! It is great to see a regular on this forum get the 1909VDB MPL. You truly have a rare coin and when you get that 1916 you will have a complete set of MPLs to be proud of. ENJOY!
Steve

Nice pic! Beautiful coin

Congrats!

jacktheknife · May 20, 2009 11:33PM

Wow, out of the blue, David Schweitz.
This must be one important coin.

Hey Dave, will you sell me the 12-S?

Jack

66RB · May 21, 2009 1:42AM

A very big congratulations to you robec. I'm glad to see it went to someone with so much passion for the matte proof series. It looks like a very nice coin from the images.

Seeing what it was listed for on the weekly MPL thread, this makes me rethink what the 64RB will go for in the upcoming Long Beach auction

Duane · May 21, 2009 3:37AM

Bob-

Nice monster BN VDB - these BNs are are harder to get than the Reds!!

Robec! Your Buffalos!

robec · May 21, 2009 4:51AM

<< <i>Robec! Your Buffalos!

>>

Unfortunately yes. I'm still trying not to think about that part.

I loved the look of them and hope to one day try again.

ambro51 · May 21, 2009 5:48AM

good for you! that coin looks pretty nice with your pics too!

now.....only that elusive 1917 eh?

ambro51 · May 21, 2009 5:49AM

BTW those look like some extra die polish lines on the bottom reverse, dont they? Are they in the diagnostics?

renomedphys · May 21, 2009 6:27AM

Those lines are on mine as well, but seemingly not as prominently.

MarkJude · May 21, 2009 11:03AM

Congratulations!

That is a great looking coin!

Steve · May 21, 2009 11:11AM

Andy wants to remind Paul NOT to include the coin in next weeks listing. He said it will not be off his inventory list for awhile. Steve

jacktheknife · May 21, 2009 10:47PM

Steve,

Just tell Andy to join the boards!!! That way he can pipe in any time he wishes.

Jack

Broadstruck · May 23, 2009 7:26AM

Mathematically if you sold all those Buff's you should now own a nice Proof 50C... Right

Seriously Congratulations!

robec · May 23, 2009 9:11AM

Not with my luck selling.

The promoters make all the money.
