JoshA113n Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 6:14 pm I have 4 1909s and this is the only one that I can slightly see the vdb. Is this acceptable or do I need to find a better example Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 6:18 pm There is a die pair where the VDB is very faint even on higher grades, so I guess given the wear here this could be one of those, but personally I don't see it.

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 6:37 pm Maybe I'm wrong on this but after the fiasco with the 1909 VDB being so prominent on the reverse wasn't it removed from 1910-1917 and added to the bottom of the bust in 1918? Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4407 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 6:40 pm If there is a VDB on your 1909's, it would be on the reverse at the bottom between the wheat stems. Not on the obverse. The VDB was removed altogether part way through 1909 and later replaced on the obverse on Lincoln's coat in 1918 as mentioned before.

JoshA113n Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 7:46 pm I may be wrong on this but it spread that the vdb is all over the reverse Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 7:57 pm Not the slightest trace of VDB that I can see. Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 9:43 pm If it were to have a V.D.B. it would be at the bottom near the rim on the reverse, not under Lincoln's bust on a 1909 anyway. Report this Post to the Staff
