I'm sorry sherm, I found my 3 little letters. V-D-and B

Hi Sherm,

So, A little bird told me that thse V's D's and B's can be really hard to see. Well, I had meant to take my magnifying glass to the coin, but I didn't see any sign of them, so I didn't worry about it. Well, after seeing an actual VDB coin, I realized just how small those little buggers are. I went back and got a little more dirt off the coin, then glassed it and sure enough, there they were. No, there isn't an S, but I actually DUG a VDB penny. I was pretty stoked when I found a 1909 penny, but I did the happy dance when I saw those little letters.

So, Sherm, you are forgiven for having a VDB penny, my envy has been sated, so now we can be friends again. I will even remove the land-mines from all your favorite MD spots.

Sorry the pic of the letters isn't better, hewlett packard is pretty much crap.

Cool. Your close up is fine of the VDB. I found a 1909 wheat last weekend. No VDB though.

jon - the mintmark is right where it should be. The actual "VDB" letters are really small tho', and the letters on mine are almost on the rim. You might want to try a magnifying glass, I still have a hard time seeing 'em without one.
