There are at least two types of 1909 VDB doubled die varieties. However, the one that is most desirable is the Type I doubled die obverse exhibiting prominent doubling in the inscription LIBERTY and in the first 9 of the date. This doubling is visible to the naked, but trained eye ' an important factor in making this a significant and highly collectible variety. Numismatic experts believe approximately 500 or so of these Type I doubled dies exist, and they command strong premiums above the prices of non-variety 1909 VDB Lincoln cents and are scarce in Brown, Red-Brown, and Red grades.
Obverse Description
Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portrait and the date and mintmark (If any) positioned on the right side.
Reverse Description
Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter. The deisgner's initials V.D.B. appear on the bottom periphery.
