<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1192551, member: 17919&quot;]I think the diagnostics can be applied to coins that were made specifically for collectors. But the original owner of this coin was an employee at the Philly Mint in 1909, and he might have had access to trial strikes.</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, I am going to check the Internet for pictures of business strike VDBs in MS condition and try to match obverse and reverse dies with my coin. So far I have been checking the PCGS registry site and have found no coin that matches the die characteristics of mine, especially the obverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
