1909 S VDB 1c Lincoln Wheat Cent NGC F 15 Fine to Very Fine Key Date Original Coin

A very attractive 1909 S VDB key date Lincoln Wheat Cent graded F 15 by NGC. It carries excellent detail for the grade with very attractive chocolate brown original surfaces. It holds a very strong date, clear S Mint-mark and an visible V.D.B on the reverse. Please note, you can see most of the 'VDB' on the reverse but the coin must be tilted at a certain angle. It is not a very strong 'VDB' on the reverse of this coni. This appealing coin has been housed in a newer style NGC holder. This key date has been by far our best seller and has continued to be in strong demand among collectors. The 1909 S VDB Lincoln Wheat Cent is arguably one of the most desirable coins ever minted by the United States Mint. It carries a low mintage of only 484,000. However, the PCGS Coin Facts estimates that only 50,000 of these exist today that are brown such as this circulated example. Of this number, this coin is one of 1,666 graded to be in 'Fine' condition by NGC.
