Description

1909 VDB Cent, PR66 Red and Brown
Important Single-Year Subtype

1909 1C VDB PR66 Red and Brown NGC. Only 1,194 proofs of this single-year subtype were minted in 1909 with the designer's initials, making it an important coin for an advanced type collection. Surviving examples are usually found in lower grades, and rarely with as much original red mint color as here. In fact, many would describe this Premium Gem as fully red, with only slight mellowing of the color on the reverse. The strike of this piece is razor-sharp, as expected for any matte proof. Both sides are nearly void of the flyspecks commonly associated with these proof cents. Census: 4 in 66 Red and Brown, 1 finer (7/11).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22KR, PCGS# 3301, Greysheet# 2471)

Weight: 3.11 grams

Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin & Zinc
