Long lost treasure

I just had a dream about a coin I have not seen or thought of in years. When I was a teenager I helped my older brother renovate a turn of the centry hotel in Cripple Creek Colorado years before they made gambling legal again. In the process of tearing the floor boards out of one of the rooms I found a 1909 Lincoln cent, I remember it being brown and dull but had very little wear. I took it home and tossed it on my dresser and forgot about it. I really got interested in Numismatics the next year and at a local coin show I found out just how valubale a 1909-S V.D.B can be. I got home and looked through my change and never found the coin
I wonder if it was a 1909-S V.D.B?
