A key date in the Lincoln Cent series, the 1909-S VDB is a highly sought-after coin among collectors. This example, certified by PCGS with a grade of UNC Details, retains strong definition and sharp detail, despite being designated with "Questionable Color."

Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this cent features the prominent V.D.B. initials of designer Victor David Brenner on the reverse, which were quickly removed from later issues, making this coin a true numismatic treasure. The 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent is one of the most famous and desirable key dates in U.S. coinage history, with a mintage of only 484,000 pieces.

While this coin exhibits vibrant surfaces and full design clarity, the "Questionable Color" designation suggests possible past alterations to its toning or patina. Nonetheless, it remains a valuable piece for any Lincoln Cent collection, offering a rare opportunity to own a historically significant coin at a more accessible price point than fully certified Mint State examples.

A must-have for serious collectors, the 1909-S VDB Lincoln Wheat Cent continues to be a cornerstone of U.S. numismatics. Secure this legendary key date for your collection today!

‘’I had gone to a couple of other places and they weren’t the nicest people and were trying to rip me off. The people at copper state were very knowledgeable and kind. They taught me a lot along the way too. Mike and Ivy were big helps in my situation. The place is also very organized, clean and they were professional!! I recommend you go here! I will be back!’’

He also spent time to educate me about things I wanted to know and answered all my silly questions too! (And there were a LOT of them!!) I am really going to enjoy this shop and look forward to returning again and again. Mike is fair, honest, respectful, and kind. What more could you ask for?’’

‘’First time visit to the shop was great! All were fun to talk with friendly to work with and outstanding to do business with. I was looking for some specific items. They went above and beyond to double check inventory not under glass. Boy, did they make my day. Not only did they find, it but they gave me the best deal in town. I will be back again! Thank you Mike! Copper State is a new spot for me now.’’

‘’Found a couple of the 2009 Formative Years” I have been looking for. Came to Copperstate Coins responding to an ad not knowing they were a coin dealer. Met with Ivy to pick up my rolls. All in the store were extremely polite not pushy helpful and I left with more than I came in for. Without a doubt greatest place to go if you’re just getting into the hobby, which I am, I will be a frequent customer. Thank you!!’’
