I have been looking for one of these forever. I finally found this one while searching through ebay listings of 1909 VDB wheat cents. I still can't believe I found one. Looks like it's probably AU58. Maybe it's a slider MS63. Light signs of wear in my opinion. Either way I'm still so glad to have found one.

Awesome cherrypick! Definitely a DDO and not Machine Doubling. For the grade, I'd say high AU, since I can see light wear and contact marks.

Just noticed something new to me. On the zero on the dates of the 001 and 002, the doubling is in different directions:
Cherrypicked-1909-VDB-Doubled-Die-Obverse-Cent
Just as the zero is doubled to the left on the 001 and to the right on the 002. Never noticed this before.

The obverse is just spectacular (rim, field and devices)....reverse hurts the grade,rim around 7k chatter in right field and cut in right wheat stock ,if all are "bag marks", I'd put at MS-64+.....Very,very,very NICE cherry-pick... Anyone of us would love to have it in our collection

That 002 seems like a stretch to a novice like me.

Cherrypicked one last year for peanuts, had it slabbed at AU55 and your example is better. I'd say 60 at least, probably a shot at 63. Way to go!
