Lot 3178 1909-S 1C VDB MS65 Red PCGS. The S-VDB caused quite a sensation when it was released because of the prominent location of Victor Brenner's initials on the lower reverse. Rumors spread that the coins would be recalled and many collectors and non-collectors set aside examples. (This applies to the Philadelphia variant as well.) This is a lovely example that exhibits rich mint red luster with no apparent flaws.( Registry values : N1793) Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22B2 , PCGS# 2428 ) Weight: 3.11 grams Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc

Lot 3174 1909 VDB 1C Doubled Die Obverse, FS-1101, MS66 Red PCGS. Two doubled die obverse varieties are listed in the Cherrypickers' reference for the 1909 VDB Lincoln cent.

This desirable FS-1101 coin displays vibrant pumpkin-orange luster and sharp definition. A spot below the O in ONE is among two or three microscopic reverse flecks noted for accuracy. Die doubling is prominent on the date and LIBERTY. Population (both doubled die obverse varieties included): 30 in 66 (9 in 66+) Red, 7 finer (5/21).

Lot 3177 1909-S 1C VDB MS64 Red PCGS. The S-VDB is a 20th century issue that transcends Lincoln cent collecting. It is well known by collectors of all U.S. coins and has been sought for decades as the one really challenging early cent needed by all Lincoln collectors. Full, unmellowed mint luster covers both sides of this attractive near-Gem. The coin is only kept from an even higher grade by a light speckling of carbon over each side. Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 5/2004), lot 5578; Denver Signature (Heritage, 8/2006), lot 344. From The Kessler Family Collection. ( Registry values : N1793) Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22B2 , PCGS# 2428 ) Weight: 3.11 grams Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc

Lot 3364 1914-D Cent, MS65 Red Seldom Encountered With Full Mint Luster 1914-D 1C MS65 Red PCGS. Ex: Connelly Collection. The 1914-D boasts an original mintage of only 1.19 million pieces, which plays a major part in its place among the elite Lincoln cent issues. Although the 1909-S V.D.B. and the 1931-S have even smaller productions, both issues were hoarded to some degree, while the 1914-D was not. Surviving Mint State examples, of which there are predictably few, tend to be more mellowed red rather than blazing red. This Gem example, however, has bright, even cherry-red color that glistens as the coin is rotated beneath a light. Well struck with no obvious abrasions and just the slightest flecks of carbon present. PCGS has graded just seven finer Red examples (11/20). Ex: Joshua and Ally Walsh (Heritage, 1/2006), lot 3083; The Jack Lee Estate (Heritage, 2/2009), lot 422; The Carter Family Collection (Heritage, 4/2010), lot 2029; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2010), lot 3307. ( Registry values : N4719) Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22BH , PCGS# 2473 , Greysheet# 1828 ) Weight: 3.11 grams Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc
