Description

1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent, MS65 Red
Famous and Popular First-Year Issue

1909-S 1C VDB MS65 Red NGC. This vibrant, fiery example is one of the 484,000 pieces struck of this immensely popular San Francisco issue. Well-struck with sharp details throughout, the lustrous surfaces display rich copper-red mint luster accented with amber and lavender undertones. Magnification reveals a few small nicks over Lincoln's jaw line along with a few fly specks, all of which are concealed somewhat by the exceptional colors present on this Gem. NGC has graded just 45 numerically finer Red representatives from this ever-popular issue (9/25).(Registry values: N1793)
