Duane, the 1909 is pretty, but that 1955 is out of this world

Thank you - I got lucky on that find - maybe I should get it graded first

The 1955-S is sold. Thank you. Duane

That's a nice group Duane. That VDB sure has some nice flat rims.

I'm sure that you would get a YOU SUCK if it turned out to be PR.

I apologize in advance for bringing it up - but this isn't the BST board. PCGS only here.

Nice catch, Bob, and funny you mention that. I originally bought the VDB as a PCGS MS66RD because I thought it MAY be proof. But after crackout and CLOSE examination for a long time, I determined (with the help of Stewart, Dave Lange and Brian Wagner) that it was not a MPL. Ironically, Stewart took one look at it raw and said "it looks like a 66 red"

I guess it's tough to beat experience!

To tradedollarnut; I apologize to you - I have to look up the rules as I do not want to break them. No harm, no foul?

P.S. I have to check my emails, but think the coin is sold, as well. Thanks all.
