In addition -- to the right of the E in ONE on the reverse -- there seems to be a slight peel... That could explain the grainy look as there may be a bit of an alloy mix problem -- I have seen many Lincolns with grainy looks that have Lamination peels - big and small
Yes, I see what you mean, Arjohn. I see the peel. Great observation and deduction!! Thanks
Man, what are the chances?! You found a 1909 VDB 106 years old and it just happens to be a doubled die.
One thing's for sure. This will be the oldest lincoln variety you'll ever find.
Congrats!

I hadn't thought of that DC, but you are right!! Lincolns just don't come any older than this!! Thanks for the thought!!!
I agree also that it is DDO-001. What an exciting find!
Thanks to GRNWAVDAV or it would have slipped by me. I sincerely appreciate everyone who responded, viewed and shared the excitement with me. I wish you all to have a similar experience soon!!!

Glad I could help! Congratulations on an amazing find!
Geez Joel! One big find after the next! How do you do it! I don't know whether to cry or wind my watch.

A 1909 Lincoln just rolled out face up as I opened a roll of Lincolns. It was startleing to say the least. I turned it over and there was the V.D.B. clearly visible on the reverse. Believe it or not but this is the third 1909 VDB that I have found searching rolls of Lincolns since I started doing this last February. This one is in the best condition. All of the devices can be clearly read. The surface of this Lincoln, however, has a grainey look to it. I'm not complaining, but, instead, hoping the next one has an S under the 1909!!
From Valentines Day 2014 to the end of March 2014, I found 1 1909p and 2 1909 vdb, so I know exactly that startling feeling when you see it. One of them I saw reverse first, and it took me awhile before I could flip it over lol.

Clutchy, That must have been very suspenseful while waiting to turn that VDB over!! From our experiences I feel that it is possible to find any Lincoln in the wild. I hope we both have more chances to find the BIG ONE!!!!
