This is a funny story about auctions...  Of course we all know about the 1909 S  V.D.B. Lincoln cent so I won't go on about the specs.  My husband and I always wanted this coin, not only because it's cool, but because it's a good investment as well.  So lets just say we both find potential purchases offered on two different auction sites... We both bid on separate coins knowing we probably won't get even close to winning.  Yep, you guessed it. The next morning, two winning bid notices in our e-mail !!!     Well the old saying goes  "If one is good, then two is better"...     : )
