<p>[QUOTE="illini420, post: 945939, member: 19423"]Like rlm said, the two major doubled die obverse varieties (FS-1101 and FS-1102) of the 1909 VDB Lincoln will care a premium in just about any grade. I've seen many 1909 VDB cents and currently own around 100 of them in grades from circulated up to MS67RD. Several show die cracks here and there. Remember, although care was taken in minting the new design, they did make quite a bit of them and the dies sometimes got worn out and cracked. Typically, minor die cracks on these will add no premium to the value as Lincoln collectors don't get as nutty over things like that like the Morgan and Peace Dollar guys. However, from what you're describing the cracking may be more significant that the typical 1909 VDB die cracks. If so, the coin may be worth a slight premium, but only to a die hard collector of Lincolns or 1909 cents I would imagine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
