Any serious coin collectors here? (1 Viewer)

Just wondering if we've got any serious coin collectors here.  In particular, anyone hunting for a 1909 S VBD to complete a collection or something?

My husband was for a while. He wanted one of those pennies. I was going to get him one for his birthday like 8 years ago, but he said not too. Hard to justify spending that kind of money for a decent one. I did get him 4 boxes of pennies to go through that year instead, but he didn't find anything great.

No mention of wheat pennies?

Graded or in a 2X2?

Graded or in a 2X2?

It's in a 2x2.  Bought it and about 70+ other pennies 1909 to 1950, in a garage sale when I was maybe 7. It had two 1909s including the S VBD. I have written down from back then that it's good to very good, but no idea now whose opinion that was.

I know they are hard to come by and I decided I'd rather it end up in the hands of someone who would appreciate it fully. If I can find someone I actually know in some fashion to buy it rather than just selling it to a random dealer or on ebay, that would be my preference.

I was at one time in my yute.  Used to collect Indian Head pennies.
