Easily available in all grades and finishes, some with full luster. Almost every collector should be able to obtain a decent quality one of these “landmark” coins at a fairly inexpensive cost. The striking and sharpness of most of these coins are well struck with . Full Details and sharp lettering. // ALSO DURING 1909 - A U..S.

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.
