Lots of meaningful detail remains on this key-date 1909 S VDB that unfortunately has an old cleaning. A full strike, strong hair detail, and lettering all make this a pleasing example despite the cleaning. There is a light scratch to note extending from the nose into the field that can be seen with zooming in. There are also some planchet lamination issues by the left wheat stalk on the reverse. Nonetheless, a presentable 1909 S VDB that could slot nicely in an album or enjoyed as is.
