<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chip Kirkpatrick, post: 3504251, member: 101265&quot;]Are VDB pennies considered scarce? Hard to find? Rare? </p><p><br /></p><p>I remember a metal detectorist friend bragging that he had found one. I didn’t even know what it was but I was properly impressed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well I put a magnifying app on my iPad and grabbed a bag of wheat pennies that I’ve had. I’m guessing there may be 400-500 wheats in it. After a few minutes I spied a 1909 and flipped it over and saw the 3 initials. Told the wife I may have found a good coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Then I found another. And another. And another. </p><p><br /></p><p>In less than an hour I had 8 1909 VDBs lined up in front of me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Did I hit an actual honey hole or does everybody find a handful? I read 484,000 were minted. Is that accurate?</p><p><br /></p><p>And finally, what would an approximate average value for these possibly be?
