Description

1909-S VDB Cent, MS65 Red and Brown
Key First-Year Lincoln

1909-S 1C VDB MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. This is a predominantly lustrous example with a frosty texture and golden-orange color that is muted by olive-tan shadings at a few angles. Crisply struck, as befits a first-year Lincoln cent, with only a faint graze on the President's cheekbone that defines the grade. A wonderful example from this popular issue that features the designer's initials on the bottom reverse.
