The 1909 VDB Lincoln Cent in MS64 Red (RD) condition, graded by PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), is a numismatic treasure for multiple reasons:
-
Historical Significance: This coin was the first year of issue for the Lincoln Cent, designed by Victor David Brenner, which replaced the Indian Head Cent. The "VDB" initials on the reverse, under the wheat stalks, were added to acknowledge the designer but were later removed due to public outcry over the prominence of his initials. This initial design with his initials is now a sought-after variety.
-
Condition (MS64 RD):
-
MS64 (Mint State): This grade signifies that the coin has never been in circulation. At MS64, you'd expect to see full mint luster with only minor contact marks or slight detractions visible upon close inspection.
-
RD (Red): This designation means the coin has retained its original copper color, showing no signs of toning to brown or red-brown. Red coins are highly prized in the numismatic community because they indicate excellent preservation.
-
-
Rarity: The 1909 VDB Lincoln Cent is not rare in circulated grades, but finding one in MS64 RD condition is quite exceptional. The demand for high-grade Red Lincoln Cents, especially the first year of issue with VDB, is consistently high.
