Full Blazing Red MS67 1909 Lincoln Cent
With Unusual Obverse/Reverse Color Scheme

1909 1C MS67 Red PCGS. The 1909 and its VDB counterpart are known as "common" first year of issue Lincoln cents. But that just holds up to a certain point. They certainly are not common in Superb condition. The color on this coin is extraordinary; in fact, we don't remember seeing another like it. The obverse is deep cherry-red; while the reverse has the bright yellowish-red that is usually seen on 1909 cents. The surfaces are almost perfect; to draw attention to any defect would unfairly magnify its importance. Population: 54 in 67 Red, 0 finer (12/09).(Registry values: N491)
