...and I see a wheat. No big deal. I grab it and look at the date and it's covered in some gunk that won't scrape off. I flip it over on the slimmest of hope and...
You now have my attention. I've cleaned it (lowered the value, I know. So what, never gonna sell it.) and I'm 99% sure it's not a 1909S. The scan doesn't do it justice. I can barely make out the date in the right light, but there is nothing to indicate a S. Oh well. Still a cool find.

What you have there is a dateless 09s vdb and should be represented as such.

Well a VDB withut a date trumps a 1909 without a VDB
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7497(Not yet sure whether it has a VDB or not, in the process of cleaning it now.)

Is this wishful thinking? Either way I'm gonna get it slabbed, just for fun.

Dunno - looks a bit like Homer Simpson off to the left and up, at an angle.

My 1909 is really crappy, even worse after cleaning. No sign of a VDB. Oh-well, at least it's a spot in the book.

I don't see an "s", but I think I see a mysterious face similar to that Martian landscape satellite photo thingy from years back. It's just inside the red circle at about 12 o'clock. Blow it up more!

Hahahaha
Good one! I always THOUGHT those surface shots of Mars were nothing more than close ups of Ed's pennies (had to be careful of the spelling there... don't want another Anthony Weiner controversy)

Nah. I was hoping they could see the S that I saw on the other one. This one goes in the Whitman folder.

Cool finds. 1909 VDBs make breaking open rolls fun.
