Lot 1220
1909-S. PCGS graded MS-66 Red. CAC Approved. A beautiful untoned mint red example. A superlative gem in all respects first year of issue, second Type of the year after the Mint, after much public controversy, removed the V.D.B. initials from further reverse dies. The luster is never-ending, the lovely coppery and gold highlights vie with each other for dominance, plus the strike is essentially as sharp as you will ever find for the date. Regarding this year, the clearest details are found throughout the peripheral areas and also encompassing the key centers which are crystal clear as noted in hair and beard, coat lapel and tie; while on the reverse, full wheat ears and kernels are noted. Pop 120; 7 finer, 3 in 66+, 4 in 67. (PCGS # 2434) Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,400
