1909 VDB Cent, PR66 Red and Brown
Matte Proof Lincoln Key

1909 1C VDB PR66 Red and Brown NGC. The 1909 VDB is by far the rarest proof issue in the Lincoln cent series, comprising less than 20% of the matte proof 1909 Lincolns certified at PCGS. The reported mintage is 1,194 pieces, although the small survivorship suggests that a significant amount of these never made it into collectors' hands. NGC lists only 55 submissions of this issue in all grades. The present PR66 coin is one of just four Red and Brown coins so fine at that service, with two pieces finer in the same color category (3/21). The strike is razor-sharp, complementing the broad rims and matte luster. Olive-green, copper-orange and golden hues adorn the unmarked, attractive surfaces.
From The Gibney Family Collection. (Registry values: N4719)
