Description
1909-S VDB Cent, MS66 Red
Bright Yellow Tinged Color
1909-S VDB 1C MS66 Red PCGS. CAC. The 1909-S VDB Lincoln
cent ranks as number 14 in Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth's 100
Greatest U.S. Coins--but many an average collector might
rank it number 1 on their lists. Take a look at numbers 1-13 in
Garrett and Guth: 1804 silver dollar, 1913 Liberty nickel, 1894-S
dime, 1907 Ultra High Relief twenty, 1885 Trade dollar--the coins
range from unobtainable to unaffordable. Yet the lowly, plebeian
key to the Lincoln cent series ranks right up among all those
patrician numismatic wonders, a superb example of a coin that is
both obtainable in nearly any grade desired, and affordable by
collectors of moderate means. However, few are obtainable in this
lofty grade. This piece retains the original, bright yellow-red
color from 1909. The strike is fully brought up and the surfaces
are virtually mark-free.(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22B2, PCGS# 2428, GSID# 1801)
