1909-S Lincoln 1C. VDB PCGS MS65 RD
1909-S Lincoln Cent. VDB. PCGS graded MS-65 Red. Old green holder. Nice mint red. Popular key date. Although the 1909 V.D.B. product of the Philadelphia Mint is a common issue, it is rarely encountered in its San Francisco "S" form. Only 484,000 minted. This fully original Gem has glowing reddish-orange surfaces and no mentionable problems on either side such as carbon flecks. Very elusive in Gem, extremely desirable, and with intact mint color one has to stand amazed before it, wondering just how it came to be preserved this beautifully. And so to the next qualification, the strike. Here we see quite good detail with not even minor weakness to the sharp centers of Lincoln's hair and beard, coat and bow tie. On the reverse, both ears of wheat show their kernels and wheat lines (chaff) in fine form, as Brenner meant them to look. The small V.D.B. for Victor D. Brenner is at the lower inner edge of the reverse. Pop 738; 165 in 66RD; 9 in 67RD. (PCGS # 2428).
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
