[QUOTE="Jack D. Young, post: 8166712, member: 93371"]This one has been posted and reposted in another coin forum. The OP maintains this is a rare "5th obverse" 1909-S VDB with sharp "N" reverse. He even named it as the "whispering VDB" (I got no clue) and stated it was documented in a past book on altered coin detection by Harsche. [ATTACH]1426045[/ATTACH] Image of the subject coin: [ATTACH=full]1426046[/ATTACH] Comparison to the known MM positions: [ATTACH=full]1426047[/ATTACH] The "VDB" comparison to a known genuine example: [ATTACH=full]1426048[/ATTACH] And a comparison of the obverse to a genuine 1909-S (non-VDB): [ATTACH=full]1426049[/ATTACH] The OP also shows the coin in a PCGS holder, but of course the on-line cert has no image or auction reference. [ATTACH=full]1426050[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1426051[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1426053[/ATTACH] Appreciate any thoughts on this one![/QUOTE]
