The same holds true for the reverse. Following is a CAD rendering (drawing) of a 1909-S VDB reverse overlaid on the OP's 1909-P No VDB.[ATTACH]...
All 1909 Lincoln Cents originate from a common Master Die. What CAD program did you use? Following is a CAD rendering (drawing) of the 1909...

It may be an anomaly due to lighting but I think I see ghosting which is a sign of extensive due use.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Maybe later - Look at the two 1818 Large Cent drawings paying attention to the diameters and where they intersect the design on the opposite side....
Noy yet but working on a 1828 Quarter - will post it when completed.

No Following is the same CAD overlay onto the four 1909-S VDB obverses recognized by the grading services. Then following are overlays onto the...
The PCGS Coin (Coin1) is Obverse #3. The auction coin (Coin 2) if real is Obverse #1. Therefore the placement of the mint mark when comparing both...
Connecting The Dots – Part 2 Last week I started a thread concerning the dot found in the center of the design of early US coinage. This thread...
Certainly the placement of the dots is not a coincidence. All I can do is provide a guess being for the purpose of locating and securing a jig...
Ever notice all the dots in the center design of early US coinage. Most are probably familiar with the big dot in the center of the reverse on the...
