If you are going by those dark areas between the wheats, the real VDB is in a different area. You have the coin in hand, look closely at Abe's shoulder for a VDB. If I were guessing, it would be a 1919-S
On a 1919, it is on the shoulder. On a 1909, it is on the bottom of the reverse, in between the wheat stalks. They removed it part-way through 1909, and didn't restore Brenner's initials until several years later (and put them on the shoulder). All that being said, I don't see initials in either location - and I'm not sure anyone will be able to. That cent is heavily corroded and very low grade - anyone who says they are seeing initials from these pictures will only be speculating and wishful thinking.
I tried overlaying it with a 1909 of mine. The space between the 9's is too tight on the OP's coin. I am pretty sure it is a 1919.
Well, it's certainly a cull, whatever the date, and worth virtually nothing. Why do you want to know? But no seriously, it's a 1919-S
