I always wanted the 1909 S VDB when I was a kid. I don't care if it's common. I bought this raw over 30 years ago. I have no intention of ever selling it. :)

    Same here. Owning one was a dream. As a kid I felt it consumed me. So many years searching.

    Nice coin, and nice pictures!

    They are 100x rarer. Ask people to post pictures of their 1804 dollar and see how many responses you get.

    I think the idea that they are rarer is congruent to what I said

    I didn't suggest otherwise. I'm just saying that I would expect to get fewer...many fewer.

    I don't own an 09SVDB but all these years later I can tell you how many were minted: 484,000.

    I can't name most of the various varieties that exist in the Lincoln Cent series.

    I think "top 3 finest known" was for the color designation.

    I'm still looking for a nice '09s VDB. Have owned this '90 no S for over 20 years.

    Very nice. Basically the modern 09 s vdb. Yes it doesn’t make sense when you think about it but sounds right. Nice example I want to have one eventually

    67RB Pop 1/0. I think it is in the top 3 finest known.

    Way more attractive than most “Reds”.

    Makes me think my 1909 s ms66+ could go 67

    Looks like this one could use some conservation before that verdigris gets out of control!

    An acetone bath and VERDI-CARE would fix that guy right up!

    While the coin is submerge in the acetone and then in VERDI-CARE, use a very very soft bristle brush and very gently clean in and around all the devices and in those wheat lines. But that's just me. I'm not advising or recommending others to do that.

    Interesting how many raw ones are in this thread given how often the forum says that anything not slabbed is fake or a problem.

    If it's not in a slab, there's no way in hell "I for one" could ever tell it's real.

    I've got a very nice raw one myself. The one I pictured above is not so nice, but it was bid up to $350 fifteen years ago. So not everybody is averse to adding problem coins to their collections.

    Post a picture. There's a cottage industry here comprised of people who authenticate them from online images. :)

    One of mine is the one with the 4 holes drilled in it. Can you authenticate that one? 😉

    From the amount of 1909-s VDBs posted I think it is clear which is more popular.
    But we already knew that, I guess.

    Or more common. I mean, there's more than 100 SVDBs for every No S. We actually don't have 100x as many SVDB as No S posted.

    After over sixty years of collecting I still do not have one. As a young man my grandmothers sister had four or five of them. But she had found them all in circulation (1950's) and was very proud that she had so many. But having one is on my bucket list but in a high grade BN or RB.
