luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1479 Posts	Posted 10/23/2018 10:54 am Thought forum members would like to see what a graded super weak VDB looks like. Picked this one up at substantial discount off book and am open to opinions on this controversial cent. Viewers will have to use some imagination to see the V.D.B. my son says "I see nuthin Dad you got ripped" of course I see it bold and mountainous like. Does anyone else own one of these and scoffers please do elaborate. I put this one in the same category as my 1922 no D weak reverse (controversial). Comments solicited. Don't forget to guess the grade. Sorry about angles, my android is fighting wars with Forum download applications and losing badly. Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36558 Posts	Posted 10/23/2018 11:35 am Grade at VG-8 appears to be correct. With the VDB so weak (I can't even see any sign), it would be a hard coin to sell if ever removed from the NGC slab. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 10/23/2018 11:44 am Sorry, but I can't see the VDB from these images. Maybe in hand it's more visible. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/23/2018 2:18 pm The weak VDB in the Philly version is faint but clearly visible in all the examples I've seen. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19931 Posts	Posted 10/23/2018 7:52 pm I have never see an S VDB with a weak VDB. Since the dies were fresh and they made so few, it's exceptionally unusual to have the VDB weak. I can't see it in the pictures but it must be there if NGC certified it. It must be a Grease Filled Die. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1479 Posts	Posted 10/23/2018 11:11 pm Too much light the vdb disappears. In low light you can discern the V and period, D and period, and a B busted up by a ding but no period. I was wondering if it could be one of the shadow vdb mentioned in one of the articles I read or simply like Badthad said ; grease filled and extreme wear. If I did bust it out doubt I could sell it as S vdb. Breath on it and it would be gone forever. Man this is gotta be the weakest vdb in the world, maybe its worth more? don't forget to guess a grade onthe coin. Edited by luvmyCAM 10/23/2018 11:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 10/23/2018 11:29 pm Here's the real problem, whether it is or not most people wouldn't want to pay up for that type when you need a microscope to see what makes it that type. Report this Post to the Staff
ty88ty2 Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 10/24/2018 12:15 am Interesting coin for sure, if the price was right, I might have bought it. with VG-08. Report this Post to the Staff
scopru Pillar of the Community United States 5029 Posts	Posted 10/24/2018 07:57 am I am with the others at VG. I see no traces of VDB from you photos. Weak I think is quite an understatement in this case. I do hope the cost was greatly reduced since this could also be a mislabel in the worst case scenario. Report this Post to the Staff
