<B>1909-S VDB 1C MS65 Red PCGS.</B></I> In the November, 1995 issue of <I>The Numismatist</B></I>, Carl Herkowitz highlights the importance of the 1909-S VDB cent to modern coin collecting in the United States: "In a swift departure from the past, the 1909-S VDB, more than any other coin or contributing factor, attracted the attention of the larger populace, and, in so doing, made coin collecting a public pastime rather than an avocation for just a few. The S-VDB set the hobby's course for the 20th century, increasing multifold the ranks of enthusiasts and lending to the enjoyment we know today."<BR> The outstanding Red Gem offered in this lot yields gorgeous copper-gold color that is imbued with splashes of steel-gray on the reverse. A well executed strike leaves its impact on the design elements, including the V.D.B. and the grains and lines of the wheat stalks. Both sides are free of significant marks or spots, further enhancing the coin's great eye appeal. Housed in a green-label holder.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Victor D.
