I went to my local dealer today. He was open, which was surprising since he is usually off between Christmas and New Year. It's a nice coin shop with a pawn show look to it. When I came in a guy was purchasing boxes of old Lionel train sets. He usually does not have any high-end stuff but I always manage to buy something nice from him. I finished paying for my coins (darkside): 1961 Canada dollar (toned) 1907 panama double die (not noted) and key date 1923 cent - French Indo-China (amazing monster double die, also not noted on flip) and I was about to walk away when he showed me Lincoln cent album. There were some nice coins in it. When I quickly went through it I noticed that the album contained some nice coins. I had no money - I went to the bank, came back and I paid for it. I paid $400 for the entire album. Te album contains a couple of 1909 cents, 1911 AU/BU, 1912, 1914 UNC RB, 1917, 1918 UNC BR, 1920, 1922-D AU+, 1924, 1926, 1927 UNC RB, 1928, 1929, 1929-D, 1930, 1930-D, 1931, 1931-S BU and then it’s complete set 1932 through 1980 with some amazing BU RD coins some of which are MS66/67 quality. Someone put some effort into this set and to top it one I found that of the coins on page 1 is............................ 1909-S VDB cent in AU55/58, it has some PVC and it will be slabbed when I get around to it. I may be able to get a couple of pics in a couple of days. Very, very happy now, hopefully the luck will carry over into the next year.days

Two possible responses to that,
Must have quite a lens on that baby
or
Yeah, I've seen eBay auctions that used that camera.
But it wouldn't surprise me if the 09s vdb has some more damage then first inspection.

However, that is a great purchase. Therefore...you were correct anyway... YOU DO SUCK!
