CAC. The 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent occupies a special place in American numismatics and remains one of the most sought-after issues of the series. Struck during the first year of the series, it was produced at the San Francisco Mint for only a brief period before designer Victor David Brenner’s initials were removed from the reverse. As a result, just 484,000 examples were minted, creating a scarcity that collectors have pursued for more than a century.

Its appeal extends well beyond Lincoln cent specialists. The coin is widely recognized throughout the hobby and is often considered among the most famous United States coin issues ever produced. Its enduring popularity is reflected by its placement at number 14 in the second edition of 100 Greatest U.S. Coins by Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth, a testament to the date’s lasting reputation among collectors.

Certified PCGS MS-64 RB and further endorsed by CAC, this example represents a highly desirable balance of rarity, originality, and eye appeal. PCGS has graded 2,186 examples in MS-64 RB with 1,273 finer, while CAC has approved 341 pieces at the MS-64 RB level with 379 finer. These population figures underscore the strong demand for premium-quality representatives of this celebrated key date.
