Anyone Know About This 1909 VDB?

Thanks macmercury and coop. It looks like the die cutters tapered the dies little by little to remove the vdb with as minimal damage as possible. I'm thinking they took off some struck a few coins to see what it looked like then continued their task. Some believe the vdb dies were left untouched and they waited for new dies to strike 1909 cents without the initials. This looks like they were worked on in the meantime

Looking at the line above vdb it somewhat mirrors the obverse anomaly. I don't know why they would taper the dies but keep in mind the controversial initials they were possibly trying to remove. Note the weakness in we and the strength on the date and liberty. I agree the dies may be tapered but I think it was a deliberate endeavor. Some say they have seen abraded vdb's but there is no evidence of any to my knowledge. This is a supposed variety. Just seeing if this is what it looks like. Thanks to all

Or the die polisher altered that that area. Why? Not a clue. But if the polisher hit that area, it would remove metal from that area of the die and the gutter would be even more shallow than the rest of the die.

The edge looks fairly clean and beveled. I'm still looking for the picture where you can clearly see the same abrasions on the outside that appear on the inside of the rim on top of the rim and the outside of the rim. I think that would be conclusive this is an abraded vdb and new variety. As I said I'm new at all this so please correct me if I'm wrong

I have no see this coin in my hand. So by photos, VDB, the traces sound the Serbian fake. Also the end of the wheat, by the photos. I am not sure but seem to be.

@RW: Try to compare the genuine AMERICA with your coin. There make me balance.

No, it is consider a problem for the coin. Not a plus for the coin. When you get a better one, you will replace it. Not good thing for the coin.

@RW. Sorry yesterday I was busy. If your coin has the same color it is a beauty. when you put your coin with the other for compare, you can see your really it is an Serbian. When I say look for word America, their it is the clue. The wheat also, but is hard to see by photos.

To explain: The genuine word of AMERICA has the main marc that AMER bottom line is strait, then the rest is strait lower. Second : Up all the letter are aligned strait. Third: the inclination and distances of the letters ICA. I think I give you enough clue to distingue the real from fake.

PS: the toned coin show for the compare, is legitim color only for bronze penny, and not for others who are brass, and it is rare. It occurs in some specific cases of the environment.
