coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/09/2022 8:02 pm Check to see if the V.D.B. is present on the shoulder? If not, then it is not a 1909. If there are no dots, just VDB, (no dots) then it is a 1939 or 1949. If the dots are between the V.D.B, then it could be a 1919, or 1929. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 02/09/2022 8:04 pm I agree with with Grease Filled Die. maybe a divot in the die for that lump at the end of the date. Collecting since 1972.

Raymond 1900 New Member Ireland 8 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 5:06 pm Hello all & thankyou for your replies. I have checked with a jeweller's eye glass & it looks like V.D.B. on the shoulder. I do not have the right gear for photographing detail but I attach image of the shoulder as best I can get. How can I find out what the exact date should be? Report this Post to the Staff
