Hi there. I'm an amature in coin collecting so any thoughts or input on this beatiful 1909 penny that I recently (& luckily) aquired would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! SS

Such a beautiful coin.
Is it really that shade of green?
Your second reverse photo makes me think there is a possible slight rub.

Not the best pics. The green is the lighting -- should probably remove that pic. The top 2 are mire accurate in color in sun light(ing).
Nice one! Looks like original luster and low MS to me

Welcome to the Boards!
The 09 VDB seems to tone better than almost any Lincoln, and yours has a nice look.
If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

I thought they were okay. Looks good.
Yes can tell something is different in the color and/or white balance by looking at the difference in the inner insert.

A beautiful, classic American coin.
Smitten with DBLCs.

Nice looking Penny to start your collection.
That's a great looking Lincoln, nice pickup!
Oh Yeah! Nice clean example of a first year issue Cent. Clean fields and a nice tint of luster.
First year of issue, and a lot of examples to choose from.
Still...........this is a better specimen.

It looks like a very nice coin!
I’m guessing the color actually looks like this, I adjusted the tint to get rid of the green
