Much, much damage. Personally, I suspect it's not a 1909--given the posted images. Would love to examine the coin in-hand, holding it at different angles under different lighting.

Can you see what may or may not be VDB on the shoulder?

Unable to identify if VDB is evident.

Maybe a 1919? Who knows. It's too beat up to tell.

There's so much heavy damage, that third digit might originally have been a 4, for all we can tell.

Based on the spacing of the 9's, it can't be a 1909. Looks like a 1919.

That's a great candidate for the nearest railroad track to smooth out those blemishes.  |

I'd go with 1919, not that it matters though in that condition.  |

To me it looks like 1909. It looks like it has a mint mark, my opinion is an S. No VDB. If it were 1919 it would have the obverse VDB, and when in this condition, I think you'd see it, that area on the design is fairly well protected. That third digit could be a 1, if that's true, then the fourth digit is a 0-7   Actually, it really does look more like a 1919, but I sure can't see the VDB in your pic  Edited by Gilly

Just my humble opinion, but I think it's a 1919, given the number spacing.

Hummm...not worth the effort of figuring it out. But it would make an excellent sinker!  |
