1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent (1c)

The 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent is one of the iconic key dates in the Lincoln cent series. This first-year issue of the Lincoln cent features the initials of the designer, Victor David Brenner, prominently on the reverse, creating significant collector interest. With a mintage of only 484,000 pieces, it's a challenging coin to find, especially in higher grades.

This coin, graded AU58 by PCGS and bearing a CAC sticker, displays light circulation wear but retains strong design details and pleasing overall integrity. The surfaces feature a well-defined strike with a moderate brown patina that enhances the coin’s character. The eye appeal is excellent for the grade, making this a highly desirable example of this key-date Lincoln cent.
