View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $5,750
Lot 1799		1909-S Lincoln Cent. VDB. PCGS graded MS-65 Red & Brown. Well struck with some mint red visable. A blazing Mint State specimen with nicely frosted motifs and deeply struck devices. Soft-edged devices and lettering throughout the centers are sometimes seen on this issue; however, a small percentage of this year's production is found with enough convincing detail to be called "bold" and this is one such coin. A gem! Pop 616; 26 finer in 66 (PCGS # 2427) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,200. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,565
Lot 1800		1909-S Lincoln Cent. VDB. PCGS graded MS-64 Red. Popular key date. Light brown and some mint red. The full portrait of Lincoln is clear of marks or toning spots. If readers will pardon the expression, this is the ideal of the present-day collecting demand where the careful buyer hopes to eliminate anything problematic when assembling a high-grade set of Lincoln cents (and rightly so). First-rate color for its grade, first-in-its-class strike and surface condition as well (PCGS # 2428) . Estimated Value $2,800 - 3,000.

Lot 1801		1909-S Lincoln Cent. VDB. PCGS graded MS-64 Red & Brown. Well struck with lots of mint red. A popular key date. According to the Breen encyclopedia, we owe the Lincoln design to a coincidence. The Lithuanian immigrant sculptor Victor David Brenner developed an obsession with the martyred President, and during the years just before Lincoln's birth centennial he modeled portrait medals and plaques. These came to the attention of Pres. Theodore Roosevelt, and probably played a part in Brenner's winning a commission to portray him on the Panama Canal service medal. During the sittings, Brenner became a close friend of Roosevelt. The President confided in Brenner about his "pet crime'' (improving all our coin designs, favoring domestic artists above Mint Engraver Barber's mediocrity), and invited him to submit cent models. The rest is history (PCGS # 2427) . Estimated Value $1,800 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,415
Lot 1802		1909-S Lincoln Cent. VDB. NGC graded MS-64 Red & Brown. Lovely shades of mint red. Popular key date. The small V.D.B. (for Victor D. Brenner) can be found along the lower inner rim on the reverse. Although inconspicuous in its placement, it caused enough objections that the mint removed the initials. Only 484,000 cents were struck at the San Francisco Mint before this took place, which created an instant rarity (PCGS # 2428) . Estimated Value $1,800 - 2,000.

The detail on these early dates (pre-1917) tend to be all that a coin collector could ask for, barring a few of the Denver Mint issues of the early teens. One of the key dates in the series.
