A very attractive 1909 S VDB key date Lincoln wheat cent graded VF 30 by NGC. It carries excellent details for the grade with very attractive chocolate brown original surfaces. It could have easily graded higher by NGC in our recommendation. It holds a strong date, a very clear S Mint-mark, and a sharply defined 'VDB' on the reverse. This key date coin has been one of the toughest coins for us to keep in inventory lately as they have been in strong demand. 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. This coin is one of only 1,840 graded to be in 'Very Fine' condition by NGC.
