Hello! Today while CRH, I found several erly Wheaties including a 1909 Wheat cent in f/vf condition. I immediately brought out my magnifying glass, and I thought I saw something, but the coin was so worn that I don't know if its even a VDB!
Here is the first picture, with a normal exposure:

1909-VDB-Found-CRH...-Is-It-A-VDB?

Here is the second exposure, with high contrast
1909-VDB-Found-CRH...-Is-It-A-VDB?

If you could post your opinion, that would be great.

Don't think so but a 1909 cent is not a shabby find.

Doesn't look like the VDB is there. Still a nice CRH find at face though.

There is no VDB shown in the photos ... although we would enjoy viewing full images of both the obverse and reverse of the coin.

Nice CRH find for a 105 year old example.
