1909 1C Lincoln, RD MS66+ RD 认证号18319562, PCGS号2431

Mintage: 72,702,618; Weight: 3.11 grams; Composition: .950 copper, .050 tin and zinc; Diameter: 19 mm; Plain Edge; Designer: Victor D. Brenner ===== Purchased from Angel Dee's Coins and Collectibles – February 2009. Mintage of the 1909 Lincoln Cent commenced only a couple of weeks following the initial release of the 1909 V.D.B. Lincoln Cent as a result of the negative reaction to the designer’s initials featured on the reverse. This coin has the highest mintage of all of the 1909 cent varieties. Even with the highest mintage number, the 1909 Lincoln Cent is less available that the lower mintage 1909 V.D.B. Lincoln Cent in grades of MS66RD and higher which was apparently saved in greater numbers. The present example was the first example certified MS66+RD, has no marks of note and exhibits some light blue-green toning on its lustrous surfaces. There are also a few very minor doubled die reverse varieties of the 1909 Lincoln Cent, none of which are listed in the Cherrypickers’ Guide nor recognized by PCGS. An ANACS MS64RD example of the doubled die reverse is also pictured here.
