1909 S VDB original roll sold for $1 million +

[fugnchill]

I received an email from PCGS and they mentioned the 1909 S VDB roll that sold for over 1 million and their saying to watch the video. I haven't been able to find the video though... does anyone know where to find it?

Thanks,

I looked also as I thought it was interesting. I could not find it either.

This reminds me of a time in the early 1980's when I had a coin collecting buddy name Glenn. He and I worked together and we both enjoyed collecting coins so we hung out quite a bit talking coins and working on our collections. He was one of the disenherited family members from the Del Webb family (that's a long story in itself). Glenn had told me back then that his grandmother or great grandmother had puchased 2 unc bank rolls of the 1909-S vdb's years and years ago and has kept them in a bank safety deposit box all those years. I had wondered would it would be like to have 100 uncirculated 1909-S vdb's in my possession. Anyway, this just reminded me of Glenn and that little story.

Reminds me of when i was a kid, there was a guy who owned a little grocery/liquer store in town. He was an advis indian cent collector - rumor was that he bought from a lady intown - 50,000 indian cents. He had alot of them displayed in his store - one display was a entire set uncirculated! he was cheap - he never gave one away or even sold it !

It was a punctuation error in the title.

Was it supposed to be $100,000 not million?

A million divided by 50 is $20,000 (I think)

Don't know if you guys are just having a little fun with me since I am new to this board, but the -mail title was poorly worded at best. The actual text of the e-mail said this: The pre-Long Beach show was a really successful one. Most nice coins were being bought by collectors at very strong prices. This means that these coins will probably not return into the market for a very long time. At the Goldberg/McCawley and Grellman auction on September 6, a 1795 Large cent with reeded edge sold for $1,260,000. This is the first time that any Large cent or copper cent has realized over a million dollars. The coin was graded PCGS VG10. Please read the article below for more details. In other news, gold finally hit $1,000 on September 8, which means that coins will be attracting a lot of investors' attention, not to mention the fact that many collectors will also be buying a lot of gold coins. In this week's video we interviewed three of the world's most influential and prominent coin experts. They all shared some great stories that the rest of us will probably never get to experience. For example, imagine handling an original roll of 1909-S VDB cents! Can you imagine how much that roll would be worth today? Please watch the video to see this story and others as well. This is a video you won't want to miss.
