I found this penny going through roles and I thought it was a 1909 s. Its really worn out but I'm able to see the 19 plus it looks like an area above and to the right that looks like a 0. Also, what is the triangle thing at the top?   |

It's just too obliterated. I can't make out the date based on the pics. Too bad there is no VDB on the reverse. That would have narrowed it down a bit!  |

I can't make out a date at all.

I know, I'm trying to find out what the mark is by the nine. Its might be messed up because it was in circulation for over 100 years, if its a 1909. I found it in a roll early this year.

It looks like there is VDB on Lincoln's shoulder. That rules out any date pre-1918.

Where on the shoulder would it be? Underneath like newer pennies?

Right at the arrow tip. Looks like VDB is there, but take a good look at your coin to confirm its presence. They didn't start putting the initials there until 1918.  |

Your right, good eye. I zoomed in on it and saw the vdb, so now its worthless. There go my hopes and dreams. (sob)

Are all the strange marks some kind of counterstamp it received at some point?
