I suppose then also any 1909 VDB with the dot between the D and B closer to the B will be Barber’s version since that only occurs on reverses where the N in UNITED is deep cut."Barber’s reverse has the dot between D and B closest to the D. Brenner’s reverse the dot is centered."
This is incorrect. ALL the reverse hubs with "V.D.B" were made by Charles Barber. Brenner's hub had "Brenner" in the same position. This was rejected and Barber merely replaced "Brenner" with the initials. (See Renaissance of American Coinage 1909-1915 for details and photos.)
I’m not sure whose design is which. My response supposing that Barber’s version differs Brenner’s was based solely on the fact there are two versions of the VDB reverse, one with the filled N and centered dot between the D and B and one with the deep cut N and the dot closer to the D. Peace1 attributed Barber with one and Brenner with the other. If Barber was the creator of both I’m fine with that. Both versions exist with the Philadelphia coin. The San Francisco version only come with the filled N, centered dot.

You may recall Ol'hoop's refusal to "ignore" members. My own peccadillo is "do not overstay your welcome and do not remain where you are not wanted." This will give those members who fled the premises a chance to regroup, return, and reset the ambience. All for the better. I only regret that with my departure, the Pallet Man will have lost fully 50% of his followers: me!
I hope you aren’t really leaving. I honestly enjoy your posts.
