I've literally been working on this set since I was a kid... around 10 years old. The gods smilled... the moons were in phase... the stars aligned... and I coincidently had the cash and the opportunity when this came up:

Thoughts...Impressions... think it will grade at PCGS or NGC?

    I've had a complete Lincoln cent collection twice. I keep selling off the S-VDB. Currently, I'm also missing an S-VDB...

    Edited to add: Nice coin!

    Looks great! I can't tell if it's choice very fine or extremely fine from the pic. What do you think?

    I have some nice Lincoln's in 1-1/2" X 1-1/2" cardboard but wonder about a $1K+ coin in them. Any thoughts on that?

    Congrats on finishing your set. The coin Gods were smiling! image

    Well... I bought it for VF money and I thought it would at least grade that when I made the purchase. I'm planing on submitting it to PCGS along with my 1914-D which currently resides in ANACS "problem-free" plastic. Normally, I'd never make such a purchase unless it was slabbed. On this occasion, I bought this from my local B&M shop and had coin in hand to make the purchase. Additionally, the people at my local B&M are simply great to work with. This is at least one time when the gods smiled.

    The last coin in my Lincoln set was the 27-S, I searched for about three years until I found the right one in XF.

    Congratulations on completing a significant set!

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    congratulations
    how long did it take from start to finish?

    An 09-S VDB is a great coin to wrap up a set.

    I have no problem believing this. It's taken me almost 10 years now to put together a well-matched EF-AU set and I still have two to go.
