Got hold of a new error — it’s the double “VDB” — the initials of Victor David Brenner, the sculptor who was the first to put a human face on a US cent. The initials are double-struck, sometimes triple-struck. I have a triple in hand atm, but it hasn’t been microphotographed yet, so I’m putting a couple of photos of the 1969-S double VDB up for you to see. You have to know where they occur and all that. I have that knowledge, plus the knowledge of how this minor industrial accident might have occurred, where it happened, and where you’re most likely to find this powerful and rare Strike Error! Tune in to the ICW this morning for more info.
This is a tough search, but worth the effort; it’s the equivalent of bringing down a gnat with an elephant gun. The double VDB is tiny, but mighty; you can see them on eBay from time to time, bringing anywhere from $50 to $350.
See You At The Top!!!
