Lot 1213
1909-S. VDB. PCGS graded MS-64 Red. CAC Approved. A blazing mint red example. A frosty, satiny MS64 with strong vivid coppery luster and a bold strike throughout much of the reverse details, though some typical obverse weakness is seen at a portion of the beard along Lincoln’s jaw and where the hair merges with the top of his ear. Later, and especially at the branch mints in the 'teens and 'twenties, a soft impact was left by the recoil of the likely worn dies that struck this denomination; but in almost all instances like the present one, the 1909-S V.D.B. is well made and the coin has a very convincing impression (PCGS # 2428) Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,100
