1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent (1c)

This XF45 example of the key to the Lincoln series displays even, medium-brown color and smooth surfaces that are remarkably clean for the grade. The details remain sharp and well-defined, particularly in the wheat stalks and lettering. The eye appeal is strong, with no distracting marks or problems.

The coin's honest wear and original surfaces make it an excellent representative of this first-year key date. Finding problem-free circulated examples of this date can be challenging!
