Longshot pedigree quest for an OGH '09S VDB in PCGS 65Red

cucamongacoin

Hi all, I was looking for pedigree info on a particular coin, and thought I would start the quest here. It is a 1909 S VDB in PCGS 65 Red, old green holder, cert # 2428 65/7326698.
It may have resided for quite some time in a Texas collection. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, mark

Are you missing a number? Cert Verification doesn't bring anything up.

Are you sure the cert # is correct? It doesn't look complete to me.

I plugged in 326698 on the PCGS Cert Verification page and got "That Cert Number was not found in the database".

A while back, when I was much more of a Lincoln fanatic, I would record cert #'s along with my impression/description. I can look through those records for you.

OOPS, dropped a #, it's 7326698
Thanks, Mark

OK, with that cert # the PCGS page shows this:

Auction Appearances of This Coin

None known


Current PCGS Registry Sets

None


So there's nothing to go on without good pictures of the coin. Even with good pics, establishing a pedigree is a long shot.

I also did a quick search on Heritage using the cert # and got nothing (assuming I did it right).

Heritage and PCGS cert verification both show nothing. Going to be a tough search, those are just so common. Population of 753 pieces at PCGS.

How about approximate date of encapsulation?

Mark, This thread will help with approximate date of encapsulation.

Thanks Paul, that does help, but brings up another question. Why aren't these sequential?

Here's a pic of the obverse, don't have the reverse,

Looks like a nice coin. That slab style was used from early 1990 through late 1994 according to Conder101's book and some receipts for coins that I have.
