Owner's Comments

Code 91 Genuine Altered Color. Lots of cartwheeling luster this coin reacts entirely different under the camera lens than it does in hand. In hand, it has a nice even RB color with lots of cartwheeling luster. This coin would easily fool me until I went to photograph it.

Expert Comments

Jaime Hernandez

The 1909 V.D.B. Lincoln cent was highly hoarded and preserved in its' first year of issue. Consequently, many 1909 V.D.B. Lincoln cents survive in immaculate condition today.

Varieties: There are at least two different doubled dies known for this year. Type 1 is the most prominent variety of the two. The doubling is strongest on the date and on the word, Liberty.
