Description
1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent, MS66 Red
Green CAC, Green Label Holder
1909-S 1C VDB MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. The Lincoln cent has long
been the most widely collected series in United States numismatics,
something that may well receive yet another shot of excitement for
collectors with the recent 2025 suspension of coinage for the
denomination. Even if cent coinage resumes in the future, or if
cents continue to appear in proof sets or as commemoratives, all
eyes are on this series and its key early dates. The 1909-S VDB is
the biggest key in the date and mintmark collection. Its mintage of
484,000 pieces is the lowest in the series, and while the issue was
well saved at the time of coinage, high-grade examples are often
tightly held. Premium Gem Red coins with CAC endorsement are rare.
This piece displays a full strike and luminous copper-orange and
golden luster, with pristine surfaces. No obtrusive spots are seen.
Housed in a generation 3.1 green label holder. Listed among the
100 Greatest U.S. Coins.(Registry values: N2998)From The Bob Hastings Collection.
