1909-S VDB 1C PCGS VF30

This 1909-S VDB Lincoln Wheat Cent is one of the most famous and coveted key dates in U.S. coin collecting. Struck at the San Francisco Mint with a low mintage of just 484,000, it features the original Wheat Ears reverse and the bold “V.D.B.” initials of designer Victor D. Brenner—used only briefly before being removed from the design.

Graded VF30 by PCGS, this example offers strong detail and clear visibility of the VDB initials, with honest wear and pleasing surfaces. It’s a solid, collector-grade piece of American numismatic history.
