Check out this 1909-S VDB PCGS MS67RD. I remember seeing one priced at $15,000 around 1999 and thinking how insanely expensive that was despite the grade.
I see this one has already been bid up to $40,000+. Oh if only I had a second chance.

I still own two of them.

Stew, sounds like you are looking to dispose of one of them when you used the term "still." Am I reading you right?
Not looking for one of them just to clarify my intent. Just to learn.
who are far enough along to appreciate the coins as much as me.
Sometimes I am right and occasionally I am wrong.I have placed several coins in the Tom Mershon collection through an intermdiary.
I did view this 1909 s VDB in ms 67 red and it is gold in color.It is not cherry red nor brown at all.In fact I think it is a nice coin.The only disturbance on the coin is a weakly impressed VDB on the reverse which was caused from stacking after manufacture.

I did too many tax returns until yesterday this year and they all started to look like "disposing them!"
Stew: One other thing which I did not understand:
You said
<< <i>.........weakly impressed VDB on the reverse which was caused from stacking after manufacture. >>
I am not following you on this point. Could you clarify? I do not know much about the VDB part. I would like to learn.
<< <i>I am not following you on this point. Could you clarify? I do not know much about the VDB part. I would like to learn. >>
A question I also would like answered. I understand that the V.D.B. (including the periods in between) are often weakly struck. However, I always assumed that this portion of the die would get clogged with grease similar to the 1922-weak D.
How is it that stacking causes this?
The VDB on the reverse of a mint state 1909 VDB cent as well as an S VDB are as high and sometimes higher than the rim.When the planchet got struck the VDB did not get fully impressed and it looks a bit scratchy.
If you can obtain a proof specimen of a 1909 VDB you will find the wire rim is higher than the VDB and the VDB is ALWAYS crisply impressed.

Shamika - The weakly impressed VDB has nothing to do with grease in my opinion.
Today, Jan 15, 2023, a 1909 S VDB MS67RD sold for $307,000 at auction. ($345,375 with Buyer's Fee). There are only 15 of this grade certified at PCGS. I believe this is a new record for that item.
I should have said that 1909 S VDB MS67RD that sold for $307,000 was at a Great Collections auction. It was Item #1272808 in case anyone is interested. Amazing how much that coin at that highest grade has appreciated over last few years. PCGS lists it at $140,000 today.
Pulling up a post from 2005? Now you're just rubbing it in.
I wonder which of the two sold tonight.
Not surprised. That was Stewart Blay’s.

I wonder how many of the 67's Andy made...
I remember, at a PCGS Vegas show, a S. Cal dealer had a full roll of Red 09svdb's graded in walkthrough. Said they were from a client of his shop (not sure who owned them, him or the client). I was at the table when they came out of grading and watched him open the boxes and we all marveled at the grades. Many MS67's and I spent the whole afternoon drooling all over myself.

About that time (late '90's) you could find Red examples of the 1909-S VDB in PCGS holders for:
65: $1,500
66: $3,000
67: $15,000
I saw all of these on the bourse in Long Beach. I thought $3000 for an MS66 RED was way too much.
What year was that?
It probably should be

I wonder why 15 coins graded is called only 15. Seems a lot for a MS 67 ultra expensive coin. I would use ONLY for a few graded.
