Just curious... who owns the ms68RD (pop1) 1909 VDB?

ChrisRx

In MS67RD pop is 187
In MS68RD pop is 1

Never mind! Got my answer!

It would be interesting to lay out all 188 of those coins on a table with the labels covered.

I agree. I've seen maybe 20 or so of the MS67RDs out there and they were definitely not all equal in my opinion, though they may all technically be graded 67. Some of them seem to be perfect looking reds with blinding luster while others seem to be dogs with spots! Perhaps some of the bad ones have just turned in the holders? Someday I hope to have one of the nice 67RDs in my set

always wondered about the lone 68RD and whether it just got lucky or whether the coin is truly in a league of its own over the 188 or so 67RDs...

Heres my MS67.....its a sharp coin but the actual amount of old copper red crust diminshes the sheer sparkle that it would take to grade MS68

Call me crazy, but I like the combination of original luster and skin. I would pick this over a 68 without it.

Yeah, seriously! That is one hot ticket!!!

To me once you get over 66 you are just buying numbers.

Actually, If you see enough of them, a jump from 66 to 67, in terms of eye appeal, is a very great distance. Especially so with copper, rather than silver, which can be hidden by toning. Copper just YELLS 67 at you.

Ambro, that is one of the nicer -67's I have seen.

I agree Jack. When I'm ready to get a 67RD I hope to get one like that one as there are some pretty bad ones out there.

You want it? Its for sale. All the copper I have is for sale. Make me an offer. My sale prices are based on most recent PCGS auction prices realized. Fair and decent, collector to collector sales. No middleman involved. Just you and me.

Every piece of my copper that you've ever seen me post is being sold. About 10 gone already, matties, 67's.......all going. At least 20 more to go, 14D in 64RD, 55/55 64RB. 09SIHC 65RD OGH, 09DDo1 66RD, 2006 MS70 and more ............all need to go.

Ive made the decision to complete the gold dollar series. Currently 26 coins into this series, most of them being fairly difficult dates and MMs. I am, how do you say, past the point of no return..............and Loving it~~~~~~

You make me the RIGHT offer, the big Tuna is for sale 1909 SVDB PCGS MS66RD OGH I had sent that coin to Stewart for his inspection and he "LIKED IT". You all know what THAT opinion means.

CHRISRX - I have personally seen the lone 1909 VDB in an ms 68 red holder at least 3 different times. I graded the coin ms 66 red at best. Nothing special about the coin except "rub"

on the cheek and jaw line that is visible to the naked eye. I turned it down three times at $2,000. It sold a few years back for in excess of $10,000 and it is in one of the top registry sets which is closed

for public viewing. There are many ms 67 red coins which are very nice in various colors from red to gold to orange.

Ambro51 - I like your 09 vdb in ms 67 red!
