well sometimes people don't hear what they want and leave cause they either think they know better than experts or they were hoping for a coin worth major bucks and find out it's not
hi kevin, the 198.3 KB screen shot i see what could be the top of a "1" which makes that coin a 1919 S. i want to see a "0" believe me i do. i don't have one. as for the "VDB", the screenshots to me don't show me anything. what ever the true date is, i like the coin. if you truly believe you have the lincoln key date then send it to PCGS, NGC or ICG for a 100% verifacation
takes quite a stretch of imagination to see a VDB on the reverse of this coin. Looks alot more like some kind of enviormental damage or maybe just age and wear. However, a blind man could see the 1919 S on the obverse with his cane
Yeah, a cold response is freezin'; as it makes no rhyme nor reason .... but it's not a hatred of puns, even though one can say it has been over done. We know short, long dogs end up in buns, as it's all in a sense of poem fun.
Where are they shown? I can't see them, and I've seen many 1909 VDBs and a few 1909-S VDBs and never saw anything that looks like your pictures. I think you're seeing what you want to see. There was a guy at my university who saw micro graffiti on ancient coins. Unfortunately, no one else could see it. That coin is a really low grade, weakly struck 1919-S, which I saved by the roll when I was coin hunting in the 1950s/60s.
