1909 VDB Cent, PR65 Red and Brown
Key Matte Proof Lincoln

1909 1C VDB PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. Ex: Monster-Toned Raisinet. The 1909 VDB is the rarest matte proof Lincoln cent, surpassing even the low-mintage 1916 for rights as the most challenging acquisition in the series. This issue is seldom offered in any grade, but occasionally Choice or Gem Red and Brown examples are available. The current coin is at the upper end of the typical grade range for the date, with finer pieces being rare, whether finer by numeric grade or color category. Sharp devices complement the luminous matte surface texture, while each side displays vivid rose, lilac, amber, olive-green, and copper-orange hues. Eye appeal is excellent. Population: 31 in 65 Red and Brown, 14 finer (11/23).
