1909 Lincoln Lincoln Cent (1c) Laidacker Collection

Full, fiery mint red on a first-year Lincoln - this superb gem glows with rich copper-orange color. The strike is razor sharp, with every strand of hair and wheat kernel crisply rendered, and the glassy surfaces are remarkably clean, showing only the most trivial ticks under a loupe. Original, and vibrant with truly outstanding eye appeal, it resides in a PCGS Gold Shield holder with a green CAC sticker. From the Laidacker collection.
