This 1909 VDB was hiding deep in an old park near my home. I have found 5 other 1909 pennies but this is the first VDB. The old XS still finds the deep ones!

Way to go Mike on the wheat cent, it appears to be in pretty decent shape with full rims and good stalks. Now all you need to do is find the other two types of 1909's and you'll have a complete set of all four of them. I only have 3 and still need the big one. Good luck on your next outing, John

I also have dug a lot of 1909 Wheats and have only found 1 with the VDB on the back. I also got the 1909-S Wheatie (with-out VDB) earlier this year at a Railroad Park that I had worked the year before and couldn't believe that it was there when I seen it. It was High Grade and booked for $100.00. I also got an 1887 Seated Dime from there that others had missed also, so it was 2 great Coins I found on 2 different days.
I'd go back and work SLOW, to a CRAWL, and listen for them warbled Signals that read somewhat Good and hit evertime or most of the time when you swing the Coil over them going slow. You'd be surprised how many Coins you will find you could only get Signals from going this slow. Congrats on that great find and Good Luck and HH to you on your next hunt.

With 103 million Lincoln Cents made that year:
72 million 1909
28 million 1909 vdb
1.8million 1909 s
.5 million 1909 svdb
Looks like we need to dig over 200 1909 Lincolns to have even odds of finding the SVDB. I may have 25 1909's and 2 or 3 vdbs
Still no s or svdb. Heck, I haven't even found an "S" mint for 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913 or 1914. Guess I'm too far from San Fransisco.
