here is my 09S vdb photos I took quite a while back. the reason for the post is just to show how photos can alter what we see. the only difference between the two is a slight change in the camera angle. pay attention to the scratches above LIBERTY and the hit and black spot by the date wasnt sure if this should be in the general main coin forum. admin move it please if needed  Edited by panzaldi 06/17/2024 08:28 am

@pan, thx for posting this. It is amazing that those scratches can largely disappear like that. As to the best spot for a thread like this, let's try in the photography section.

Hmm... The two photos show a different position of the mint mark.

No question, two different coins. MMs are in different positions and the dark spot to the right of the MM in image #2 is completely missing in image # 1. C'mon.

Clearly different coins, since camera angle can't change the mint mark position. Quote: nope same coin GMS5 its my coin and I only own 1 Lucky you! Turns out you own 2!

Besides the mysteriously disappearing corrosion spots (below LIBERTY and to the right of the mysteriously moving mintmark), we've got mysteriously moving white flecks: there's one that moves from above the T in LIBERTY to inside the forks of the Y, and another on the date that moves from the top of the zero to the top of the second 9.
Sorry, but no, these are, 100%, two different coins.
