Lincoln-- little dirty-- not bad-- wheat side looks great.. Date side I think says 190? -- wasn't the lincoln started in 1909? I assume it is the date

You got it....is there a V D B?

 

[trapperart]

Nice the vdb would be on wheat side bottom

 

[lazabert]

Cant tell -- should be on wheat side right
at bottom?

 

[toolmanbutch]

1909 S VDB would be nice to have.

 

[BigWaveDave]

Either it's there or not, either way, doesn't make a difference....just fun to know with an 09.... An S would bey key, but too bad not this one.

 

[ScubaDetector]

Yes 1909 is the first year. So that is what it is. VBD should be between the ends of the wheat stalks on the bottom if there.

Nope --No lettering between wheats .. darn... but just having one from first year is great--

Mint mark would be under the date (under the dirt), and the VDB would look like this on the bottom of the reverse:
