djluster Pillar of the Community United States 1327 Posts	Posted 08/23/2006 11:10 pm It stands for Victor David Brenner, It was the designer of the coin, It was origanal located on the back of the coin at the bottom. I knew that much I just though that the 1909 was the only one with it.Also Brenner died in 1924 and is buried at Mount Judah Cemetery just add a little more. Also I have only been collecting coins seriously for just over one year and I have learned so much in one year. I never knew how many different types of coins the US minted. So yes I am alway reading and learning. Also here is a picture of the one I have in my type set. Report this Post to the Staff

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 08/24/2006 12:57 pm dj: That was still great info even if you had to look it up to be sure! There are some folks on our family that have photographic memories - I just don't happen to be one of them! I think a lot of us just use our reference guides and so forth but, some of us just "punt" once in a while to see if we really can remember things. Thanks again dj! Great job my friend!

Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 08/24/2006 9:39 pm Memory is a funny thing. I was talking to a good friend today, and I told him, pretty much word for word, a conversation we had back about 1956! However, I picked him up fopr lunch at the wrong time. Why? Because I forgot the correct time -- a fact I learned this morning! Report this Post to the Staff
