1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent (1c)

The 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent is one of the most sought-after key dates in the series and, perhaps, in all of numismatics. It stands out as the inaugural issue with the designer's initials, V.D.B., prominently displayed on the reverse (which caused an outrage!). With a mintage of just 484,000 before the VDB was removed, it’s a legend among 20th-century coinage.

This coin, graded XF45 by PCGS and bearing the coveted CAC sticker, offers a pleasing balance between wear and preservation. The surfaces maintain strong detail, particularly on Lincoln’s portrait and the wheat stalks. It boasts an even, chocolate-brown surface that enhances its eye appeal. A classic, appealing piece for any numismatist's collection.
