XF45 if it is real. I'm no expert on these and would not buy a raw one. Very high quality fakes have been around for decades.
The coin looks approximately AU50-53 to me.

Genuine. A nice looking die#3. Prabably AU-53 or 55.

I would say AU55.... Just based on the pictures of course... Cheers, RickO
Lucky pick you say?
What's the story?

53
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
I bid on a lot at HiBid of what was described as 1909 VDB cents in an old cigar box. I thought there were about 150 coins. I won it for $200 + $25 shipping. First thing I did was count what there was, 131 Lincolns and 4 low grade Indians. I was about half way through them and saw the S. I thought to myself, CAN'T BE. IT WAS!!! A little Blu-Bow and it looks the way it does. I sent it off to ANACS, arriving there today. I've sold all but 2 low grade coins on ebay. The rest were VF-BU. There were 9-1909-P, 3-1910 and a 1914 included also.
That is awesome!
Can't beat an AU 09-S VDB for under $200!

Cool. They're still out there! Nice condition too.
I agree that it looks genuine, I say XF45 shot at AU.
My Collection of Old Holders
Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
AU50.
not certain which is more scarce, cherrying an 09-s vdb OR cherrying one that is authentic!
gratz to the OP!
XF45.
No lower than au-50.

If it comes back authentic then I'd have to say..... You Suck!!
I was at a local pawn shop years ago, the dealer there 'knew everything'.
So, I picked up a 1909 S.
Sent to the other place, and now in a F-12 holder, S VDB
BHNC #203
ANACS is finalizing the grading. They gave it AU58. I'm happy with that.
I agree with that grade
I thought it was a 55+/58-.
Nice pick.
