Lote 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

Lote 3216 1914-D 1C MS64 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Unlike other low-mintage Lincoln cent issues such as the 1909-S VDB and the 1931-S, the 1914-D was not saved consciously, and so the survival of high-grade examples is a matter of chance. This rose, peach, and violet example is more Red than Brown, well-defined with smooth surfaces that show only a few stray flyspecks. Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2011), lot 4229.

Lote 1052 1909-S Lincoln Cent. V.D.B. MS-65 RD (PCGS). OGH. Offered is a fully struck, expertly preserved example of this perennially popular key date Lincoln cent issue. Richly original surfaces exhibit subtle golden-brown overtones to otherwise dominant reddish-orange color.

Lote 97 1909-S Lincoln Cent. V.D.B. MS-65 RD (PCGS). Splendid full Red Gem quality for this perennially popular low mintage small cent issue. Both sides exhibit dominant golden-orange color, the upper third of the obverse with a splash of warmer pinkish-rose tinting. Fully struck throughout with a smooth, softly frosted texture. The recorded mintage of the San Francisco Mint's initial contribution to the Lincoln cent series came in at a paltry 484,000 pieces. After these examples were produced coinage stopped when unfounded newspaper articles complained about the prominence of the designer's initials, V.D.B., along the lower reverse border. Accordingly, Treasury Department officials mandated their removal, and Lincoln cent coinage continued without the designer's initials until 1918, after Brenner's death, when they were quietly added to a less conspicuous place along the base of Lincoln's shoulder. Widely saved at the time by contemporary Americans looking for a keepsake of the new small cent, the 1909-S V.D.B. is more plentiful in Mint State than the limited mintage might imply. With the quality offered here this issue is scarce, however, and it enjoys particularly strong demand among discerning collectors. PCGS# 2428. NGC ID: 22B2.

Lote 7039 1909-S Lincoln Cent. V.D.B. MS-65+ RB (PCGS). CAC. A thoroughly PQ example of this perennially popular small cent issue. Softly frosted surfaces are fully lustrous with plenty of original autumn-orange color remaining. Both sides are also lightly toned with splashes of pretty olive-brown iridescence scattered about. Fully struck, typical of the issue, yet with uncommonly well preserved surfaces that are knocking on the door of an even higher Gem Uncirculated grade. From a mintage of just 484,000 pieces, and of further significance as the only San Francisco Mint Lincoln cent issue with the designer's initials V.D.B. inscribed along the lower reverse border.

Lote 3117 1909-S 1C VDB MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. The important V.D.B. initials are sharply brought up on this attractive, Red and Brown Gem. Mint red color glows prominently throughout the lustrous, minimally marked surfaces. Lincoln's shoulder is mark-free, while the obverse strike complements the other well-struck elements. Any carbon flecks require magnification to view, limited to a only a few random, pinpoint specks on the overwhelmingly smooth and attractive surfaces.( Registry values : N1793) Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22B2 , PCGS# 2427 ) Weight: 3.11 grams Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc

Lote 4026 1909-S 1C VDB MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Although it is graded Red and Brown, this Gem 1909-S VDB cent displays mainly copper-gold coloration.

Lote 3018 1909-S 1C VDB MS66 Red PCGS. Both collectors and the general public took note of the tiny mintage for the 1909-S VDB as well as the designer's initials that were quickly removed after the coin's initial release. These two factors led to widespread accumulations of the S-VDB. However, few pieces have survived the past 109 years with the mint red intact and well-preserved enough to warrant the MS66 grade. This is a bright, original example with the expected yellow-cast to the original mint luster. Few post-strike impairments are noted. Only 14 other pieces have been so graded by PCGS (10/18).( Registry values : N2998) Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22B2 , PCGS# 2428 ) Weight: 3.11 grams Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc

Lote 3339 1909-S 1C VDB MS65 Red and Brown PCGS Secure. CAC. This is a terrific example of the most famous date in the series. The original and strongly struck surfaces exhibit an eye-appealing blend of copper-orange and amber-brown color with occasional violet accents that heighten the visual quality.

Void of mentionable abrasions.( Registry values : N1793) Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22B2 , PCGS# 2427 ) Weight: 3.11 grams Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc
