malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 08/18/2009 11:53 pm I just noticed now that the VDB on this 1909 is doubled. Has anyone seen this before? Grades would be greatly welcome as well. The pictures I took of the VDB area seem to be a little harder to get posted in a steady image. I have posted the best I could get and will try to take some more. (its hard to get that close up without blur) thanks malissa Edited by malissadawn 08/19/2009 12:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

Nic Pillar of the Community Philippines 1156 Posts	Posted 08/19/2009 12:18 am Great Great close-ups , very nice photos yes, there appears doubling on top of the V, am not solid on grading, someone else can, just wanted to ask what equipment you used to get to that magnification level Report this Post to the Staff
Terror Of Zanarkand Valued Member United States 317 Posts	Posted 08/19/2009 12:29 am I'd say the V is definitely doubled, which is quite interesting. I'm going to say XF as far as a grade. It matches my XF 1922-D in appearance quite well. Report this Post to the Staff
malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 08/19/2009 12:37 am Hi Nic thank you for the compliments. The doubling is actually along all three letters its just not the greatest clarity for looking at it. I am going to add more and keep trying. As for how I get that close? I use a 10x magnification jewelers loop and hold it tight up against my kodak easy share camera. I added a pic of that too, but of course when taking the photos I have to hold the loop and camera in one hand and I steady and take the picture with the other. Takes some practice lol Report this Post to the Staff
Nic Pillar of the Community Philippines 1156 Posts	Posted 08/19/2009 06:48 am Malissadawn thanks for the info! a jeweler's loop, didnt think of that, I was thinking only yesterday of a telesopic 30x magnifier for close ups being advertised. Now I'll go for the jeweler's loop instead. Thanks again, you have a very steady hand for that closeup Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 20019 Posts	Posted 08/19/2009 08:17 am Your 09 VDB looks to be about AU50. What you are seeing is Machine Doubling IMO, not worth anything extra. Post it in the error/variety section as I'm no expert on doubling. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
