Description
Full Red Gem Proof 1909 VDB Cent
1909 1C VDB PR65 Red PCGS. The official mintage of 420 pieces for the proof VDB cents from 1909 seems to be a reliable number for this somewhat controversial issue. VDB proofs are several times rarer than their "Plain" counterparts, and coins with full red color are among the rarest and most desirable of all 20th century copper. This is a lovely coin that has the fine grain surfaces one would expect of a proof. The obverse is unexpectedly bright for a matte proof with a slight lime green accent of color intermixed with the original red. The reverse, on the other hand, is uniformly red. Outstanding visual appeal and unquestioned rarity. Population: 6 in 65, 9 finer (9/04).(#3302) (Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22KR, PCGS# 3302, GSID# 2472)
