1909 VDB 1C, RB PR (PCGS#3301)

The Regency Auction 48

详细说明: A truly special example of this VERY RARE and desirable KEY to the Matte Proof Lincoln cent series. While the 1916 is the lowest mintage, the VDB is rarer, with around 200 thought to exist in all grades. Its status as the first year of issue and its rarity create huge demand from collectors of this ever popular short series. This Premium grade GEM is bested by just two coins in the designation. Essentially fully red, this coin was clearly lovingly cared for since the time of striking, and has just gentle mellowing of the satiny matte surfaces. The devices are razor sharp in strike and the fields are virtually flawless. Even the pickiest of collectors will certainly fall in love this high end GEM. It is worthy of the FINEST of collections. PCGS 12, NGC 4, CAC 3. This is not the example we sold in July 2018 for $55,813--this one has way more original red. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $50,000. There are just two graded higher at PCGS in the RB designation, the only one to sell was the famed John Story Jenks PR67+ RB GOLD CAC that brought over a quarter million dollars seven years ago! This is a SUPERB example for any GEM set. Bid accordingly! Cert. Number 39544773 PCGS # 3301
