Description

1909 1C VDB PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. Ex: AU / Iridescent Raisinet. The scarcest matte proof Lincoln cent is the 1909 VDB issue. Most examples of this date are in the Red and Brown color category, but even these coins are notably scarce in Gem condition and rare finer. The present example is sharply struck and displays broad, squared rims with well-preserved, finely textured surfaces. Deep amber-red patina characterizes each side, leaving this coin just one shade to dark to qualify for full Red classification. A few microscopic pepper specks are not bothersome for the grade. Population: 31 in 65 Red and Brown, 14 finer (11/23).
