Just wondering if anyone can please school me on telling how to tell if I have a double die , or error coins. Or if theirs any value on these. I would appreciate it so much

To CCF! Both of your coins were worth like a few dollars in total. The 1909 VDB is worth more than the 1917 S. Value depends on condition, the mint it was minted in, and mintage numbers.

Just keep posting any coin you want to know about and the members here will give you all the information you want to know. That would be the easiest way to start to learn about coins.

With coins, unless it is a rare coin, condition is paramount.
The more a coin is worn or has damage, the less valuable it is.
In your case both wheaties are heavily worn so this greatly affects the value.

We are glad to help, but best practice is to post each coin in a separate thread. That way we can give all coins the attention that they deserve. Also, welcome to CCF!
