Question
I HAVE 48 COINS, ALL 1909 VDB LINCOLN PENNIES, BUT i DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CALCULATE THE VALUE OF THEM...THEY ALL LOOK IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. AM I BETTER OFF SELLING THEM ALL TOGETHER, OR ONE AT A TIME ON EBAY? THANKS....

Answer
Hi Doug,

1909 VDB cents are not rare, it is the S Mintmark VDB's that bring big money.

A 1909 VDB cent in MINT Condition sells retail for $13.
VG's retail for $9

I would say that if you can get $5 each for the lot to take it.  One at a time on eBat could take months, and what you you save?

Good Luck
