1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent (1c)
PCGS
F15 BN
CAC
The 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent is one of the pinnacle coins of the Lincoln series. Despite its authorized mintage of 484,000 pieces, the controversy surrounding designer Victor David Brenner's initials (VDB) on the reverse led to their abrupt removal, making these coins highly sought after. The distinct "S" mintmark adds to its allure.
This coin, graded F15 by PCGS and adorned with a coveted CAC sticker, showcases strong details that remain clear and defined despite its circulated state. It has a consistent and appealing tan brown patina. The surfaces have honest wear but lack significant marks or blemishes, enhancing its vintage eye appeal. A solid and desirable example of a key date Lincoln cent.
