Hi folks. This is a 1909 VDB. Please look at the date. The numbers, expecially 909 , look thicker than usual. This possibly could be wear since it is not in "pristine" condition, but wanted to get your opinions nonetheless. Thanks

I would definitely agree that this is a result of die wear, and is not a doubled die.

Also coin circulation seems to widen the devices out with time. But still a nice coin to find. I'm sure someone would love to have it for their collection till they can upgrade.
