  I have more researching to do but preliminary findings re: 1909-S V.D.B. obverses reveals that the diagram I and others have been using with high confidence shows only 3 of the 4 obverses used to make 1909-S V.D.B. Lincoln cents. not all 4. Harsche saw 3 different 1909-S obverses for 1909-S V.D.B. and documented them correctly with pictures on page 13 in his 5th edition of "Detecting Altered Coins", ©1973. I'm seeing that the 4th obverse, as I suspected, is indeed quite scarce relative to the other 3. Harsche never saw the 4th obverse for 1909-S V.D.B. and that's why Harsche's publication doesn't show it.

  More later but I wanted to get this information out asap...
  

  it has to be a troll

  No doubt about it; he's been rehashing the same tired topics for years now, or should I say "reharsching".

  After my research is further along to hopefully answer other questions that arise I will reveal what the true 4th die position looks like here.

  A still unanswered question is, "was this 4th die used to also make 1909-S without V.D.B.?"
