1909-S VDB Cent, MS66+ Red
Elusive CAC-Endorsed Example

1909-S 1C VDB MS66+ Red PCGS. CAC. This issue's mintage of 484,000 pieces is by far the lowest in the series, a distinction that was recognized from the beginning of the Lincoln cent's debut and a chief driver behind this issue claiming key date status despite moderately high availability in most grades. The other aspect of its popularity is Victor D. Brenner's initials near the reverse rim at 6 o'clock. The sculptor's initials were removed from the hub shortly after coinage began, and when they were replaced in 1918, they were placed on the obverse at the bottom edge of Lincoln's portrait. Thus, the 1909-S VDB cent is not only the low-mintage key of the series, it also represents a one-year subtype.

This Plus-graded Premium Gem displays rich orange-gold luster and a sharp strike, with beautifully preserved surfaces. CAC endorsement is rarely seen at this grade level. Population: 30 in 66+ Red, 15 finer. CAC: 32 in 66, 1 finer (6/22).(Registry values: N2998)
