1909-S VDB ANACS F-12.
|
|
Campania Estate. Details should technically reach the VF level, but ANACS offers only F-12 for this key Lincoln cent. What is most intriguing is that each side displays signs of very advanced... |

|
1909-S VDB NGC F-12.
|
|
Rich, semi-glossy coffee-brown patina looks utterly gorgeous at the NGC F-12 grade level, and both sides benefit from this perfect level of classic copper oxidation. Wheat lines display precisely the... |

|
1909-S VDB ANACS F-15.
|
|
Macrame Collection. Frosty coffee-brown patina shows some evidence of wood grain effect under magnification, and though placed only at the Fine level by ANACS, traces of darker tone surround the... |

| 207 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $525.00 |
|
1909-S VDB NGC F-15.
|
|
JRC Set. Full separation of each line within the two wheat stalks affirms a grade of at least Fine+. Strictly honest wear can take responsibility for the flatness seen throughout, but there are... |

|
1909-S VDB NGC F-15.
|
|
Macrame Collection. Potential bidders may find that this is really a VF cent hiding in an F-15 holder. Wheat lines show distinct sharpness and the bowtie displays nice relief for the grade, but... |
|
| 209 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $575.00 |
|
1909-S VDB NGC VF-25.
|
|
Smooth and chocolate brown, this might prove to be an ideal album coin for the collector pursuing a nicer middle-grade Lincoln set. A tiny dig just beneath "IN" and one carbon fleck on the chin join... |

|
1909-S VDB NGC VF-25.
|
|
Macrame Collection. Very strong definition (for VF) of the wheat stalks on the reverse would tend to suggest the coin has been undergraded at first glance. The lines show superb separation, and... |

1909-S VDB NGC VF-30.

|
1909-S VDB NGC UNC details/improperly cleaned.
|
|
Disclaimers on "details only" coins can be just as subjective as grade, and in the case of this key Lincoln cent, NGC chose to mention "improperly cleaned", even though one might contend the effects... |

1909-S VDB NGC MS-64 RB.

Many collectors "in the know" are aware that this grade of MS-64 RB is very much in vogue right now for the key to the Lincoln cent series. Look through dealer inventory, and most pieces are usually... |

|
1909-S VDB NGC AU details/improperly cleaned.

1909-S VDB NGC AU details/improperly cleaned.

1909-S VDB PCGS AU-55.

Perfectly graded with scant evidence of any wear, only a modest shift in color lying atop the highpoints confesses a brief stint in circulation. A solitary contact mark toned over in the obverse... |

1909-S VDB NGC MS-64 RB.

First impressions are important, and in this case it would be easy to see this as a full red key wheat-cent. Deep ruby-orange patina has barely faded toward the brown part of the spectrum, and... |

1909-S VDB, 1909-S, and a 1931-S, all VF.

1909-S VDB XF details, and a 1914-D VG details.

New World Estate. 1909-S VDB has gorgeous XF details and absolutely perfect brown patina. However, the right wheat stalk displays a series of tiny machining marks, with a couple of additional small... |

1909-S VDB. PCGS MS-64RB (green label).

Probably 75% red, the brilliance diminishes only where a modest touch of greyish patina touches the fields and devices here and there. Probably struck from moderately aged dies, Lincoln's portrait... |

1909-S VDB PCGS MS-64RD.

Blazing flame-red luster simply jumps from the fields, vigorously twisting and turning under a good lamp. Given that the only visible marks are flung into the extreme right field, the MS-64 (RD)... |

1909-S VDB. PCGS MS-65RD.

The dream coin since childhood for many a Lincoln cent collector, 1909-S VDB is also ideal at the dream grade: MS-65 RD. And in this case, there is no doubt that the flaming bright, undiminished... |

1909-S VDB. PCGS F-15.

DHCH Collection. Pitch-perfect for the F-15 grade, as the wheat stalks show fully delineated, complete lines as well as a complete outline of every kernel. Lincoln's portrait is expectantly flat,... |

1909-S VDB. PCGS VF-25.

1909-S VDB. PCGS XF-40.

Practically immaculate and cloaked in absolutely ideal deep chocolate patina, about the only thing that denies perfection (for the grade) is an ancient pin-scratch, completely toned over, that extends... |

|
1909-S VDB. NGC AU-55.

The grade could not be more accurate for a key Lincoln that exhibits practically full luster right through fields, along with mere traces of wear atop well defined motifs. The surfaces display... |

|
1909-S VDB. PCGS MS-64BN CAC.

Terrific golden-toast patina sheds plenty of luster as light plays over the surfaces and provides a feast for the eyes. CAC sees this as a premium coin, and one look at the pinpoint definition and... |

|
1909-S VDB. PCGS Genuine, Cleaning, AU Details.
|
|
Decent sharpness lends positive character to this key cent, as does much luster on the reverse. Unfortunately, the PCGS "cleaning" disclaimer fails to reference the more egregious surface issue,... |

|
1909-S VDB. PCGS VF-35.

Surfaces are darker than average, especially on the obverse where a low-contrast presentation does little to amplify apparent sharpness. A single raised green dot can be found on Lincoln's shoulder... |

|
1909-S VDB. NGC XF-40 BN.

|
1909-S VDB. PCGS AU-55.

Basically uncirculated in terms of walnut-brown luster, with scarcely any wear visible in the fields. Superb, even glossy patina helps disguise any sign of wear, but look carefully and one may locate... |

|
1909-S VDB. ANACS AU-58.

|
Small ANACS holder. In slabs, nothing beats the convenience of the old ANACS holders, and it's an especially pleasant day when the encapsulated coin is this nice. Despite a mere two points of wear,... |

|
1909-S VDB. ANACS MS-61 BRN.
|
|
Small ANACS holder. Full shimmering brown luster leaves no doubt about the mint-state status, and this coin should earn at minimum the same grade from any grading service on any given Sunday. For... |

|
1909-S VDB. NGC MS-62 BN.
|
|
Bronze-gold color almost seems worthy of an RB designation, though this slab is from a particularly conservative era of NGC grading. To that point, the coin displays considerable luster for MS-62,... |
|
| 279 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $1,300.00 |
|
1909-S VDB. PCGS MS-63RB.
|
|
Unusual and interesting appearance derives from an obverse that features honey-gold patina to Lincoln's left, and velvety brown iridescence on the right - a dual-personality coin! The reverse... |

|
1909-S VDB. PCGS MS-63RB.
|
|
Close examination will find some scattered light grey carbon spots, but they aren't visible without a loupe and affect the eye-appeal not at all. PCGS designates "RB" as the color assessment, but... |

| 281 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $1,650.00 |
|
1909-S VDB. PCGS MS-64BN CAC.
|
|
When does a "brown" designation apply to a coin that is about one-quarter red? Most likely when it is conservatively graded, which appears to be the case here. Copper-tan undertone flickers with the... |

|
1909-S VDB. PCGS MS-64 BN CAC.

Rather fine luster roams here and there between competing areas of luminescent pecan-gold and royal-blue, with this color scheme equivalently represented on both sides. Under a loupe, the brown... |

|
1909-S VDB. ANACS MS-64 RB.
|
|
ANACS grading may be gaining ground on competing company standards if the present coin is any indication. Graded MS-64 RB by "America's oldest grading service", that grade appears to be spot-on... |

|
1909-S VDB. ANACS VF-25.
|
|
Wheat lines proclaim sharp separation, with decent definition of the kernels suggesting the VF grade level. A couple of moderate marks on Lincoln's portrait require mention. |
|
| 265 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $750.00 |
|
1909-S VDB. PCGS VF-35.

Thick chocolate-brown patina piles high on the obverse, while the reverse is nearly a shade lighter, with underlying pecan accents. The grade might best be confirmed with observation of the kernels... |

|
1909-S VDB. NGC XF-40.
|
|
The ideal grade for many collectors, in XF, Lincoln's portrait retains most major details, this his bowtie particular sharp in this instance, though his hair has lost finer details. Contact marks on... |

|
1909-S VDB. PCGS XF-40.

Caramel smooth and slightly glossy, with absolutely perfect brown color throughout. Kernels in both wheat stalks are well defined, as is Lincoln's bowtie. The portrait is affected by several... |

|
1909-S VDB. PCGS AU-55.
|
|
Glossy surfaces offer extremely attractive chocolate-brown color that represents just about the ideal for most collectors that prefer ultimate, original patina. Perhaps this coin was pulled out of... |
|
| 270 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $1,300.00 |
|
1909-S VDB. ANACS MS-61BN.
|
|
Luster is nicer than expected for a deep brown cent in the MS-61 grade range. Softness of detail on the obverse emulates an upper AU grade, but the ANACS grade implies that it is strike deficiency,... |
|
| 271 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $1,350.00 |
|
1909-S VDB. NGC MS-62 BN.
|
|
Aside from a minor contact point in the obverse right field, lack of marks ensures fairly attractive overall appeal, with details that are sharper than average for 1909-S VDB. A fragile layer of... |

|
1909-S VDB. PCGS MS-62BN.
|
|
MS-63 is all there in the form of an attractive olive-brown UNC, with strong definition, decent luster and unmarked surfaces. The single point downgrade to PCGS MS-62 unquestionably derives from a... |

|
1909-S VDB. PCGS MS-63RB.
|
|
Moderate luster and a strike that provides decent sharpness should normally be cause for strong grade assessment of a key Lincoln cent. That said, PCGS may have downgraded this particular 1909-S VDB... |
|
| 274 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $1,500.00 |
|
1909-S VDB. NGC MS-63 RB (no line).
|
|
A scarcer NGC slab has the back embossed, this being important because it means the surfaces of the enclosed cent have been stable for many years. At a time when a lot of copper coins have been... |

|
1909-S VDB. PCGS MS-63RD.

Outstanding, original red color emerges from both sides and has not submitted at all to the effects of the passage of time. Only the reverse displays a delicate hint of spearmint-blue toning,... |

|
1909-S VDB. PCGS MS-64BN.

Low-contrast olive-gold and medium brown compete for space on either side in a somewhat disorganized pattern. By no means is this unattractive, especially given the noticeable underlying mint... |

|
1909-S VDB. NGC MS-64 RB.

Reddish glow like burning embers emanates from the obverse, weaving a classic wood grain pattern across Lincoln's portrait. Curious mottling of olive-brown and copper color dominates the reverse and... |

1909-S VDB. NGC MS-64 RB.

Spectacular and unusually vibrant cyan-magenta iridescence spills out of the obverse fields, with the reverse also showing glittery areas of similar iridescence, the complete effect truly elevating... |

1909-S VDB PCGS MS-65RD (rattler).

Marvelous surface quality exhibits very few contact marks, with one minuscule tick seen just above Lincoln's temple. Sharpness seems even more pronounced than usual, and the luster for sure produces... |

|
1909-S VDB. PCGS MS-64RB.

The toning pattern demands closer inspection since the woodgrain effect is very strong under magnification, with long, thin golden streaks that meander from upper-right to lower-left across Lincoln's... |

|
1909-S VDB. PCGS MS-64 RB.

Mostly reddish across 80% of the obverse, the far right field tones down with grey-brown patina, and the reverse is about two-thirds colored in similar grey overtones. Luster is particularly... |

1909-S VDB. PCGS MS-65RB.

The "key" to the Lincoln cent series is surprisingly available in almost any grade, but they are seldom this nice, particularly with a "red-brown" color designation. For that matter, the surfaces... |

1909-S VDB. PCGS MS-65 RB.

Delicate grey-brown and mint-orange patina combine in ideal proportion that leads to the "RB" color designation, providing just enough as-minted appeal without crossing the line into expensive full... |

|
1909-S VDB. PCGS VG-10.

Wheat lines on the reverse are very close to being fully separated and defined, and despite considerable wear on both sides, this coin is very close to grading fully F-12. Indeed, on some days, this... |

|
1909-S VDB. PCGS XF-40.

Suitably graded, with the patina and hints of luster suggestive of slightly better preservation than is implied by XF-40. An irregular, ancient scratch in the obverse lower left field likely... |

|
1909-S VDB. NGC XF-40 BN.

The obverse is virtually perfect for the grade, with only a micro-tick or two visible on Lincoln's cheek. The reverse sees a couple of additional smallish contact marks and a few minor old scratches,... |

1909-S VDB. PCGS XF-45.

Even careful examination with a loupe fails to discover any contact mark of consequence, and this is positively amazing for a small cent with fifteen points of wear. Obverse sharpness actually seems... |

1909-S VDB. ANACS AU-58.

There is hardly a circulation mark of note, with only a smattering of tiny nicks and abrasions attesting to the short stay in circulation, with modest wear on Lincoln's features. Surfaces appear to... |

1909-S VDB. PCGS MS-61BN.

Some oily texture unmistakably affects the surfaces and is at least partially responsible for a faint bluish cast. That said, luster really "pops" for a brown copper coin graded only MS-61, and many... |

1909-S VDB. ANACS VF-30.

Speaking strictly of the coin, which after all is what matters, this key Lincoln cent is about as perfect as it can possibly be for the PCGS grade of XF-45. The color is incredibly attractive for... |

Genuine-91 indicates "questionable color", yet even though the mixture of mint-red and subtle bluish-brown patina has a slightly greenish-grey iridescent cast, it seems likely that this coin will end... |
