Pleasing 1909-S VDB Cent
MS64 Red

1909-S VDB 1C MS64 Red PCGS. David Lange, in his 2005 The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents, notes that the 1909-S VDB issue was widely hoarded at the time of its release, and that even Uncirculated coins are quite common. Grading services' data corroborate his assertion--PCGS and NGC have certified about 5,900 Mint State examples in all three color designations. Yet, the relatively large supply of these coins is outstripped by the heavy demand placed on them by complete-set or key-date collectors and those simply fascinated with this particular issue.
The Red near-Gem that we offer here displays pleasing luster and copper-gold color laced with traces of crimson and mint-green. A well executed strike manifests itself in sharp definition on the design features, including crisp detail on all of the lines in the wheat stalks. A few light flecks on each side do not detract from the outstanding eye appeal. Housed in a green-label PCGS holder.(Registry values: N1793)
