Got a few questions on some wheat pennies i got.

I have a 1909 vbd (kinda looks like its got a little RB but thats why im here see what you guys think, most notable on reverse side), 1909 none vbd and a 1939 s that looks like its silver but is probably just the effects of the environment? I realize that the vbd isn't an s so its not the coin everyone wants but do any of these look like they have been cleaned or the silver looking one been altered with to give it that look? Just started getting into coins about a yr and half ago so still learning. I didnt pay for them i found them in a family members old coin stash. just curious if they are worth anything at all and worth holding onto for shits and giggles. ima attach the pictures hopefully they arent to big. thanks

1) both 109's are V DB

2) The 1939 is post mint damage

 

Check both of the 09 VDB's for a DDO

 

The 1909 VDB's look good, the 39S appears to have been plated with something.

   It is VDB, not VBD
