1909 VDB PCGS PR64RB MPL UP FOR AUCTION AT PITTSBURGH ANA

It's been awhile since we've followed the bidding on my favorite Lincoln cent, the 1909VDB Matte Proof. Not many of these exist today, less than 200 in my opinion. The new PCGS Coin Facts Auction data bank shows that only 63 have been auctioned in the past 10 years. (since October, 2001)

This particular coin is a typical average PR64RB. 40 of the 190 in total graded by PCGS,NGC, & ANACS have been graded as PR64RB (21.1%). Only the PR65RB with 47 graded is higher. So far 3 bidders have bid this coin to $18,400 with the juice. Not bad since a similar PR64RB in a PCGS holder went for $17,863 this past March.

While conventional wisdom says the Lincoln cent Matte Proof coin's popularity has wained, I am certain that is NOT true for this rare variety. For those who seek one for their collection, maybe this is your chance if you can afford it. I just don't believe you will ever be able to aquire one of this variety for under five figures. Good luck.

Here is the link to the auction on October 13th at the Pittsburgh ANA.
