'09 VDB MPL at recent LM auction. Looks like the 64 BN went for strong money. Price guide will have to be adjusted upward. Good news for all us matte heads.

    My FAVORITE coin in the matte proof series. As I've said MANY times, the 1909VDB MPL is a RARE Lincoln cent coin with, in my opinion, less than 200 in existence. Just about ALL of them are in the hands of collectors or dealers who CURRENTLY do not want to sell them. While condition of the individual coin does determine the ultimate dollar value, if someone needs or wants this coin for their collection, AND ONE BECOMES AVAILABLE VIA AUCTION OR PRIVATE TREATY, then the price a person would be willing to pay for that coin may be more dictated by the desire to own it, than the condition it is in. JMHO. Steveimage

    << <i>Excellent! Congrats, Bob! >>



    I don't know if congratulations are in order for me, maybe Barry.

    It wasn't an easy decision to make. I have a couple of endeavors I want to complete that made the sale necessary.
    I will be keeping all the others in the set with the exception of the 1909 which I will be replacing.

    The VDB is now part of the Trottier Collection, which is #16 in the MPL Registry.

    Congratulations Barry, (and also to Bob). This is a great example of why this coin is so special and so difficult to acquire. Those that own one realize how special it is and decide to usually hold on to it rather than sell. Good luck on the next one coming to auction in Chicago in late April. Steveimage
