Not seeing a DDO or a DDR. But the fact you found a 1909 vdb in great condition is a  John1  |

I agree with @john1 on all counts. There is some slight damage around Abe's beard which kinda looks like doubling, but I don't think that it even is MD. The B in LIBERTY is damaged. Despite the lack of mint errors, this is a pretty sweet find for face value.

 - the only thing I see abnormal are where the lettering, date etc. took small hits and so have some tiny flattened/metal moved/damage marks. |

Nice example but I'm not spotting any type of error or variety.

Until I saw the close up of the VDB photo, I thought it was the elusive missing dot 1909 VDB.
How is it possible, that a coin 110 years old can remain in that condition, in circulation ? Someone has raided the family coin collection. Not you Mikeyworms.

Tough call on this one. The '0' on the date is where you would look for the 1909 VDBFS-1102 DDO. While that area looks affected probably with a hit, the markers of the die chips are not present.  But the shape of the '9' is not correct to be the DDO-002 Markers on Liberty:  Die chips missing. So this is a normal coin with some damage on the date area, flattening and widening the '0'. |

id say someone dumped a coin collection into circulation. Probably didn't know what they had. people inherit small coin collections and have no clue what that have and just put it back in change.

no error. Sometimes coins sit in draws for decades before found and recirculated. Finding coins in change or roll hunting is what makes coin collecting fun. Anyone can buy their collection, but finding them in the wild, well, that's a whole 'nother animal. good going! |
