I bought a roll of 1909 plains at an auction for $27 with the sole purpose of having that small chance of maybe a little "s" slipping by the person who put the roll together and look what I found...........

I think I see a VDB, but it did take me three looks to see it. (The photo could be better quality! )

The VDB is really faint. Must be a poor strike, but still a VDB. Nice find. No 'S' in the roll, I guess.

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.
