1909-S Lincoln Cent. V.D.B. MS-64 RD (PCGS). CAC.Vivid golden-orange luster is seen on both sides of this gorgeous Choice example. Sharply struck, as befits the issue, with a satiny texture that is only a few stray carbon flecks away from an even higher grade. The issues first year status and, in particular, the mintage of 484,000 pieces has long made it a favorite with collectors. In fact, the fame of the 1909-S V.D.B. is such that many numismatists who specialize in other series acquire an example, often because it was one of the first key date coins with which they became acquainted as a beginning collector. This is a premium quality example for the assigned grade that will appeal to the most discerning bidders.From the Beasley Collection.
