1909 Lincoln Cent. V.D.B. MS-67+ RD (PCGS). CAC.A simply exquisite example of both the type and issue, this fully impressed beauty exhibits razor sharp striking detail from the rims to the centers. The surfaces are silky smooth in texture with a delightful frosty finish from the dies. Wonderfully original in preservation, as well, we note blushes of vivid reddish-pink iridescence to a base of pale rose color. Widely saved as a first year issue, the 1909 V.D.B. is plentiful in an absolute sense but high grade examples such as this particularly impressive Superb Gem are legitimately scarce and ever popular among todays quality conscious collectors. Virtually unimprovable, only two MS-68 RDs grade higher at PCGS.
