I see no VDB ... IMHO an average circulated state 1909 LWC.

Need better photos to confirm this hopeful nice find.

I see something that resembles VDB but it's very weak. How could the cent be in such good condition with that weak of a VDB?

I could see it fine with the first pics. Might've been a tad bit of grease in that area.

I see the VDB, no problem. It's a great feeling to get unexpected special coin in a roll.

Congrats on a great find.

Nice find you do have to look closely on the 1909 Lincoln's especially on grades F-12 and under because the V.D.B. will often be faint. When you do find 1909 VDB make sure you check the obverse lettering as there is a DDO (Doubled Die Obverse) to look for there.

Didn't they grind the VDB off some of the dies in San Francisco to save them?

Might they have done the same in Philly?
