    Congrats... gotta love the first year of a 100+ year design which is also a one-year type coin, especially one that is affordable in 64RD condition image

    Looks nice n' red, even if you can determine little else. Hope you like it when it's in hand. I can't see why you wouldn't, since it's in premium plastic.

    The registry requirement for this coin has really pushed the prices up for certified Mint State 1909-VDB cents. When I first got into the business in the mid ‘90s these coins in this grade were selling for $10 a piece raw. They were not worth slabbing. Now they’ll cost well over $100. Ditto for the 1909-VDB Matte Proof although that coin always has been tough to find and often controversial because the Matte Proof attribution.

    Even though it’s a hoard coin, it’s still a historic item. Here’s a photo of the Lincoln cent’s closest numismatic relative, the Lincoln medal Brenner did for Lincoln’s centennial birthday. Legend has it that Brenner showed a copy of this medal to Theodore Roosevelt while the President was posing for a Brenner medal. That planted the seed for the Lincoln cent.
