Questions on 1909-S VDB Wheat Penny

[taltexan]

I dug this coin yesterday along with several other wheat's and 3 silver dimes. Didn't know what I had until I started to clean the wheat's. Coin is in relativity good condition. Any idea to a realistic value and would olive oil remove the remaining dirt without harming the value of coin? Thanks

Hoping for the real deal. Considering the coins you found near it, I'm pretty sure it is real. But in coin collecting, pretty sure doesn't cut it.

DO NOT CLEAN that coin!!! You will do far more damage than good. Put in a 2x2 coin holder and get a Coin World or Numistmatic News publication at you local book/magazine store. You'll find the going price for this coin in there. Red Books are not accurate for pricing. They give a general idea of value but prices change often. You've got a dandy there, a key date that any collector would love to have! Congratulations on your great find....

Thanks for the links VW..... If you will check that same forum there is a thread on this coin. I took the coin to a dealer yesterday and his opinion is the coin is genuine. Coin is on it way to PCGS....

Probably means coin is authentic. Congratulations!

I would have sent it to PCGS as well. Hoping for the best.
