I am curious about the value if any of this coin. Please be nice, I am not really knowledgeable. Thanks so much.

First off, it's a 1909 VDB.
I’m sorry for my lack of knowledge so don’t beat me up too bad lol. Does that make a significant difference?
My guess is that the coin’s worth about $15, which is more than the value of a regular 1909.

Can you guess where this 1909 cent is?
No clue
Thank you

Yes. It is on one of the Mars landers.

I was going to say embedded in a ceramic tile. You can see what looks like a grout line.

Correction: It's on mars!
The OP’s coin is actually very nice looking! not terribly valuable but a nice example of an 09 VDB
OP's coin worth about $5-$6 to a dealer who, if on the up and up, would sell for about $10-$12.

Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.
In a tile, on the floor.
So it’s not on the Mars rover?

Agreed. While not a high-dollar coin, that's a respectable 1909-VDB in the original post.

Nice 1909 V.D.B..... certainly worth ten to fifteen dollars.... Good album coin. I have one slabbed that I got from Charmy in a cracked slab. Cheers, RickO
Thank you. I thought it may have been a little too rough but I think I’ll hang on to it now.
I appreciate the feedback from everyone. I am slowly but definitely learning a lot and I have to say I am fascinated with the search and building a collection. Thanks everyone
