This IS a VDB. The camera does not show the serifs too well. What do you think?

Looks like it to me. Did you check for die markers with 1909P-1DR-005 ?

I did think it matched 005 on CC. I just wanted a second opinion. It does look like 005.

I don't think it is a DDR. Even the CC listing shows the doubling for the 1909P-1DR-005 as on the tops of those devices.

I think it may just be coin contact.

Yeah, I don't think it is 005. But I do think it is a DDR.

If it were a DDR then it would be more consistent and widened a bit:

Oh well. I just guess it is weird to have those characteristics and not be a DDR.

I think it is due to wear the the tops look different, maybe partially due to photography. Here is a photo of both examples together:

Comparing the two, I would say it is 005.

Its actually VERY lightly circulated, so no circulation flattening. No markers, early die state, and the serifs are there. Same thickness of 005.
