I'd say vf. vdbs tend to be high grade, since many saved the "new" coins.

That's a nice looking, original 09-VDB. Very nice eye-appeal! Looks nice in your set

I see you have one of the major designs, but not the other. Where's your 1909-1917 "no vdb"?

Fuzzy, Mr Barber didn't like Mr.Brenner having his initials on the coin so the VDB was removed until 1918. This is the reason the 09' VDB are key dates.

Thanks BLUESZONE, I can see the VDB on the 1919 obverse. My 1918's quality is a little off.

Nice! Always a good feeling to check mark something off the list!

Which album is that? I always wondered why Dansco didn't separate the copper and zinc memorials (and a few other types also).

I thought it odd that they would put the 1909 VDB in there and not the 1910-1918 also. If they included the VDB in the set, you think they would have put those. And what about the 1974 aluminum penny?

That's one of the reasons why my 20th century type set is in a three ring binder and not an album :(

Thanks everyone for the grades, I was thinking vf myself. This is from the Whitman 9139, 20th Century U.S. Type Set Album. They didn't include the 1918-1958 little vdb, I don't know why.

I bet you could make a lot of money on this forum if you could make labeled coin albums, customized to what each customer wants a hole for. Anyone creative and crafty enough?

For more information, it was recently discussed here...

Do not feel bad, the Dansco does not either. Also, the Dansco neglects the change to zinc in 1982!
