1909 VDB Wheat Cent. Is The Coin Considered A Variety?

Looks like the normal V.D.B. The varieties are easy to spot when you know what to look for:

On the zero on the date, note the enlargement of that digit at 4:00 how it is not rounded on the DDO-002? Forget looking for the chips in Liberty, look at the Zero on the date. There is a fake non DDO for that year/VDB that is not the DDO. Just a pretender. Even PCGS missed that when the slabbed the fake.


Here is what they missed:



Note the Zero on the lower image. That is what to look for on these.
The die chips are different:

Go by the actual hub doubling, and forget looking for the markers on these. (Someone is holding a coin they think it the DDO, but it is not. And graded as the real deal. But it is not! Buy the coin, not the plastic.

I would call it a year variety. But not a die variety. The difference? A die variety means it is only on one die. On a year variety there are several dies showing this, but not confined to one die.

Yes an excellent CRH'ing find . And in pretty good condition to boot for a 111 year old coin .

I would say no, it is not a variety, it's simply a normal US coin.

I refer to them as a "Year Variety". (because there were with/without the V.D.B.) Why do I add the Dots? The dots were there until 1935 on the VDB on the bust.

Where did you read that? I didn't. I figured it out myself.
