Hello, I found this 1909 VDB, and the VDB appears to be doubled as well as the wheat stalk on the right side. Here are some pic's. So what do you guys think? Anything special?
Welcome to the forum:thumb: Hate to say it, but it appears as just a loaded roll used to rip Ebayers...... Nothing special on the VDB If your the buyer, I hope you get your money's worth, if your the seller, shame on you.
I see what you are talking about, but I'm not sure whether or not it is a doubled die or if they punched the vdb separately like mintmarks, but the wheat does look doubled to me and that is part of the design for sure. EDIT: Missed AJ's post. My bad.
I am not sure that there is Doubled Die doubling on the Reverse of the coin but there appears to be at least another VDB above and slightly off-set to the right of the normal VDB on this coin! I have no idea of the cause but there could be quite a few explanations other than Doubled Die doubling. I agree that this is another loaded Shotgun roll to sucker folks into bidding much higher! There are hundreds of these on eBay every week. I edited and cropped one picture and have included it below. To me, the extra VDB although weak, is visible. Frank
I agree with Frank, I see something but I can't tell what it is. It looks , as he says like a VDB above and to the right of the primary VDB. Could be the camera, the lighting or the coin. You cant tell from the picture.
