@recollector:

Very nice coin. You has exactly the VDB design. Missing a dot which IMHO was grease. I can see a little traces of the dot. Excellent photo and a nice close example of the VDB design.

people have given up on this. I think the presence or absence of the dots means something. a code. meant to be hidden in plain sight. what was going on in 1909?

I had vaguely remembered this post and was able to track it down having found a BU example missing the "V" dot only. I'm leaning towards this being grease related since the V and the D seem to missing some design fullness as well.

Do you think that there is a slight trace of the dot is there?


Yes I do, a slightly raised feature where the dot should be imo.
