Pleasing 1909 Lincoln Cent
PR65 Red and Brown

1909 1C PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. The 1909 proof cent without the VDB initials comes from a mintage of 2,618 pieces. David Lange (1996) writes that while this issue was initially coined with the same matte surfaces as the 1909 VDB, it is more often found with a satiny finish, probably the result of the dies becoming slightly worn when striking the later impressions (p. 304). The present Gem displays satiny characteristics. Reddish-orange patination is imbued with traces of greenish-tan, and razor-sharp definition shows on the design features. This piece exudes pleasing overall eye appeal. Population: 70 in 65 Red and Brown, 23 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N991)
