1909-S VDB Cent, MS66 Red
Rare CAC-Approved Registry Coin

1909-S 1C VDB MS66 Red PCGS Secure. CAC. Collectors of high-ranking Registry Sets and other Lincoln cent specialists recognize the various levels of quality that exist within each Mint State grade level and actively seek out the finest pieces for their collections. The 1909-S VDB, famously the key date of the series, is frequently available for a price in MS66 Red, but quality and eye appeal vary greatly. The availability of high-end Premium Gems is far lower than the general population reports suggest. CAC has endorsed only 34 Premium Gem Red coins, with just two finer (10/17). We last offered a CAC-approved MS66 Red in lot 4021 of our 2015 FUN Signature sale, which realized nearly $16,000 (Plus-graded CAC coins have realized in excess of $30,000 more recently). This piece is at least as eye-appealing as that coin. Bold design elements reflect luminous original golden luster and are devoid of abrasions or carbon spotting. Truly a high-end example of this key date, with only 15 Red Superb Gems finer at PCGS (10/17).
