I can email to you the V.D.B. images I get with my endoscope. Let me know by PM where to send.
you are welcome to email them to this thread.
why not post them? there must be 1000+ years of numismatic experience on these boards. pcgs consults with at least a few members and i'm sure a few have been graders. you giving us half this puzzle almost makes it seem as though you are trying to stir things up. you got your wonderful scope you were wise enough to purchase. show us what ya got!
effective members post images, at least consider what is being shared with them and let the chips fall where they may.
i will not address this coin further w/o rev image(s), especially close-ups of the vdb.
thanks
Here's a better image of the V.D.B. The third dot is there but does not really show up under high magnification. Also, the point of the 'V' dips a little lower than the image below indicates that it does.
I get one sa remark in this thread about trolling this forum by presenting this V.D.B. to the best of my ability and I will delete this post too.
fwiw. a cursory examination of the holder from that vdb thread doesn't lead me to believe it is counterfeit. both the barcode and the qr code thingie on the back both pull up instantly with the barcode app.
can't say anything about the seams of the slab.
i think once a good comp of the vdb (like the one above is done, we all can rest, well almost all).
- Periods are too low on OP coin (note how first period drops below "V")
- Second period is shifted slightly left on OP coin
- Shape of D and B on OP coin do not match genuine example
.
. Conclusion
A genuine 1909-S obverse and a non-genuine V.D.B. on the reverse indicates that the V.D.B. was added post mint to a genuine 1909-S cent.

Fantastic! I nominate you for a 6th star!
My V.D.B. image posted here came from my Elikliv® 4.3 inch digital microscope.It was about $90 to me. Could not get a decent image of my V.D.B. with my endoscope but am pleased with how the closeup of date/mintmark image turned out using it. Under $120, two nifty units. Makes me want to revisit leaving this place now that I have these bad boys in my numismatic tool arsenal. Posting coin images here is fun.

@mr1874"Looking forward to obtaining a new SVDB from my dealer."
Rather than giving PCGS a chance to get this off the market after he has made a mess of their forum for 2 months he is going to send it back to the dealer. Then we will need to have another 2 month troll for his new 1909 S VDB.
@mr1874
If you would have taken 5 minutes to compare your coin to photos on CoinFacts rather than spend 2 months posting about it you could have avoided all this mess.
You kept claiming you were doing research, that is some mighty fine research skills you have.
@mr1874"My SVDB is a real thing. I check it daily to make sure it's crazily leaning to the right far out 'S' hasn't fallen off from it's position under the date."
^^^^From another thread^^^^
I guess you were too busy watching for your S to fall off to turn the coin over and look at the VDB
The ‘96 (S-102) and ‘97 (S-121b) are lucky pennies - I bought both of them as dateless coins. Paid about $50 combined. The 1798 (S-184) was just real cheap at $12.
This little three coin set contains each of the three reverse types, both hair styles, and both plain and gripped edge.
"You can't get just one gun." "You can't get just one tattoo." "You can't get just one 1796 Draped Bust Large Cent."
It looks like it's not the "whispering" V.D.B., but, the small V, low dot V.D.B. The scope does not lie. I hope you're as happy with yours as I with mine. It is a bargain. I even got the telescoping stand for it, free.

I'm still learning vamz. A big thank you to you. It was your thread about deep and shallow valley 'N''s, coupled with my active imagination that got me going.
"Have I come into possession of a totally new in all respects, genuine 1909-S V.D.B.?," I said to myself. It turns out in the final analysis that can be seen in this very thread, no. And that's okay. I will be in contact with my dealer, a friend, soon to surrender my coin to him in exchange for another SVDB. He will send the coin to PCGS and I'm sure PCGS will be tickled pink to get the counterfeit coin in their possession. PCGS will do what they will with the piece but I would think they would want to use it as a teaching tool for both new and old graders/authenticators Trusting others is the way of my and my dealer's generation,vamz. We're boomers. We learned to trust a person unless and until that person PROVED themself unworthy of that trust. I'm proud to be a member of this forum and so should you.

I've got a fun idea for you to put into action by starting a thread of your very own. Why not do a poll thread to see what percentage of members would like to see mr1874's new SVDB? I can stay out of your poll thread and will go with what forum members have to say. Except I would like to do a vote. Majority don't want to see it, fine. I won't post it. Majority does want to see it? I post images of it taken with my new photographic equipment in a new thread.
Doesn't this sound like fun for all to you?

Yes.Thanks for directing me to the Jiusion Digital Microscope. It truly is a bargain at under $30. I didn't get the stand like yours with it but I think the Jiusion unit will fit into the stand that came with my Elikliv microscope. Didn't even think to try that while trying to get images of my V.D.B. with it. Eventually, I decided to go with Elikliv images for the V.D.B. to post here (per Mr. Newman's request) rather than spending more time with the Jiusion for this task. The Jiusion worked beautifully for the ecu of the date/mintmark,however. Turns out that the Elikliv images I made of the V.D.B., even though not perfect, were good enough to do a comparison with Coinfacts image of a genuine V.D.B.

I think he's going to continue trolling to see how many members he can get banned. It's not worth it. Don't be that guy
By now, I would expect that most people have developed their own opinion of the quality and credibility of this members posts. Is there anything else that needs to be said? Just report the posts if they don't follow the rules
Get banned, look in the mirror. That's the fellow who is responsible for you getting banned if that happens. Make ignore your friend if you need to. PCGS put that feature there for a reason. I presently have five ignore positions open but that could change. Don't know how to use ignore,ask. Somebody will help you get it done.
Looks like Lucky Penny has pretty much had it's day in the sun so, speaking for myself, the only one I speak for in these parts, no more posts from me here. Somebody please quote me. Of course to do that you have to bump the thread. No getting around it.

I think he's going to continue trolling to see how many members he can get banned. It's not worth it. Don't be that guy
By now, I would expect that most people have developed their own opinion of the quality and credibility of this members posts. Is there anything else that needs to be said? Just report the posts if they don't follow the rules
Just my thoughts. Your mileage may vary
Get banned, look in the mirror. That's the fellow who is responsible for you getting banned if that happens. Make ignore your friend if you need to. PCGS put that feature there for a reason. I presently have five ignore positions open but that could change. Don't know how to use ignore,ask. Somebody will help you get it done.
Looks like Lucky Penny has pretty much had it's day in the sun so, speaking for myself, the only one I speak for in these parts, no more posts from me here. Somebody please quote me. Of course to do that you have to bump the thread. No getting around it.
Never before have lucky pennies, pennies with dots and music with soul caused so much b*## hurt.
