Lot 92058 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent MS64 Red and Brown 1909-S 1C VDB MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. The 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent typically comes with light, copper-golden color, which makes this reddish-orange example with mahogany toning accents stand out.

Soft, luminous copper-orange mint luster adorns largely unabraded surfaces on this near-Gem Red S-VDB Lincoln cent. The strike is generally sharp throughout.

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. Of these, FS-1101 is by far the rarer in high grade. At least 70% of the doubled die obverse coins reported at PCGS represent the more common and less prominent FS-1102 variety. 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). Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 37633 , Base PCGS# 82425 ) Weight: 3.11 grams Metal: 95% Copper , 5% Silver

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

Lot 5041 1909-S Lincoln Cent. V.D.B. MS-64 RD (PCGS). CAC. OGH--First Generation. Vivid pinkish-rose surfaces are smooth, frosty and possessed of superior eye appeal even at the Choice Mint State grade level. Sharply, if not fully struck throughout and not all that far from Gem quality. An issue that needs no introduction among either Lincoln cent specialists or more casual collectors, the 1909-S V.D.B. has long been regarded as a key date entry in its series. It is the premier San Francisco Mint Lincoln cent, the only one with the designer's initial V.D.B. at the lower reverse border, and boasts a limited mintage of 484,000 coins. Worthy of the strongest bids, the present example is sure to catch the eye of astute collectors. Provenance: From the Monterrey Collection. PCGS# 2428.

Lot 18050 1914-D 1C MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. A lovely satin example of this Denver key, showing pumpkin-orange surfaces with pinkish coppery tendencies. The strike is sharp, and only a few specks are seen. The faintest trace of chestnut toning in the fields earns this piece a Red and Brown designation from PCGS. The 1914-D is significantly more elusive in Mint State than the more highly heralded 1909-S VDB. From The Maurice Storck Collection. ( Registry values : N2998) Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22BH , PCGS# 2472 ) Weight: 3.11 grams Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc

Lot 3025 1909-S 1C VDB MS65 Red PCGS. The 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent is one of the most famous coins of the 20th century. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth include it in their 100 Greatest U.S. Coins, and it is the key date the Lincoln cent series -- one of the most popular series in all of American coinage. This Gem Red example displays rich copper-orange color and a bold strike. Eye appeal is strong, and only a few flecks are discernible with a loupe.( Registry values : N1793) Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22B2 , PCGS# 2428 ) Weight: 3.11 grams Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc

Lot 3033 1909-S 1C VDB MS65 Red PCGS. CAC. Copper and amber-gold color covers each side of this softly frosted, CAC-approved, first-year Lincoln cent. The design elements are well-struck, including the often-incomplete designer's initials at the lower reverse. The 1909-S VDB cent is the undisputed key to the series. This is a lovely example. Housed in a green label holder.( Registry values : N1793) Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22B2 , PCGS# 2428 ) Weight: 3.11 grams Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc

Lot 3134 1909-S 1C VDB MS65 Red PCGS. This is a sharp, satiny Red Gem with original golden-orange luster and no obvious carbon spotting. The 1909-S VDB cent is a coin that has captivated collectors for more than a century. Decades ago, beginning collectors searched their change diligently for an example of this rare date, most often to no avail. Today, examples are generally available for a price, but the allure of this issue -- one the 100 Greatest U.S. Coins -- remains, unfaltering. This example will fit in well with high-end Red coins in a PCGS Registry Set.( Registry values : N1793) Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22B2 , PCGS# 2428 ) Weight: 3.11 grams Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc
