Description
1909 VDB Lincoln Cent, PR66 Red and Brown
First-Year Matte Proof Issue
1909 1C VDB PR66 Red and Brown NGC. A small mintage of 1,194
matte proof Lincoln cents was reported in 1909, but experts suspect
only 400-600 examples were actually distributed. The coins all
featured the designer's initials prominently on the reverse,
apparently a cause of much controversy when the coins were issued.
This delightful Premium Gem exhibits broad, flat borders, with
squared off edges and sharply detailed design elements. The
original red surfaces have mellowed to light brown and magenta in
many areas, but no mentionable distractions are present and the
subtle matte luster remains strong.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22KR, PCGS# 3301, Greysheet# 2471)
Weight: 3.11 grams
