Description
Spectacular PR64 Red and Brown 1909 VDB Cent
1909 1C VDB PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. An important and generally underappreciated proof type. However, that perception may be changing. In our Summer FUN Auction a VDB proof that was graded PR66 Red and Brown brought $63,250. Only 1,194 VDB proofs were struck, in contrast to the 2,352 non-VDB 1909 Lincoln proofs, and the 2,175 1909 Indian cent proofs. The cellophane used to package matte proofs affected many, including the present specimen, which exhibits dramatic apple-green, ruby-red, and pumpkin-gold shades. Fully struck, as one would expect, and lovely despite a small spot near the obverse rim at 9:30.(Registry values: N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22KR, PCGS# 3301, Greysheet# 2471)
