Currently available from Lone Star Coins, the 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent is one of the most famous and sought-after key-date coins in all of U.S. numismatics. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this historic issue features the designer’s initials “V.D.B.” (Victor David Brenner) on the reverse, which were removed later in the year, making early examples especially collectible.
This example has been certified MS63 RB by NGC, indicating strong mint state preservation with original red-brown color and excellent eye appeal for the grade.
The 1909-S VDB cent marks the first year of the Lincoln cent series and is widely regarded as the most iconic key date in the entire Lincoln Wheat cent collection. With a limited mintage of 484,000 coins, it remains a cornerstone piece for serious collectors.
Encapsulated and authenticated by NGC, this coin provides both historical significance and long-term collectible appeal.
