1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent (1c)

A thoroughly original 1909-S VDB with the honest, even circulation you want to see on the king of the Lincoln series. Warm chocolate brown surfaces with excellent uniformity give this coin a wholesome, undisturbed look, and the detail is strong for XF - crisp wheat ears, bold hair, a clear S mintmark, and the all-important VDB plainly visible at the base of the reverse. Traces of gloss remain in the protected areas, and the fields are smooth with nothing distracting. Housed in a PCGS Gold Shield holder with a green CAC sticker, this example delivers exactly the eye appeal a mid-circulated key date should.
