1909-S VDB 1C MS66 Red PCGS
<B>1909-S VDB 1C MS66 Red PCGS.</B></I> The 1909-S VDB is probably second only to the 1937-D Three-Legged Buffalo nickel in terms of awareness among the noncollecting public, the archetypal in-demand key-date Lincoln cent that sees perennial--and apparently increasing--collector demand. If the Mint goes through with the tentative plans to issue several different Lincoln cent designs in 2009--the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth, and the centennial of the Victor D. Brenner Lincoln cent design--the various 1909-dated pieces may explode in value from their current levels.<BR> This piece offers bold luster radiating from the orange-gold surfaces. The coin is sharply struck in all areas, with the sole exception of the mintmark, which shows some blobby softness, apparently a late state of this die. While a few trivial dark flecks appear under a loupe, this piece has much to commend itself to the legions of Lincoln cent aficionados. Seldom seen finer.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Victor D.
