I know the '09-s VDB is not rare, but definitely popular. This was always a dream as a child. I never thought I'd purchase one until I saw this one, and I didn't think twice. I guess you could say it fills that hole in my childhood Whitman cent album. This example is designated as BN, and it's very hard for me to capture the colors in my amateur photos. The TrueView does a better job at that. Very satiny surfaces with olive, lilac and green hues in the fields of both sides. Very happy to have come upon this one to add to my type collection. GTG if you'd like. It does have a green bean. Thanks for looking!

Nice coin! I was watching that one.
Chiseled strike! The second set of photos really accents that attribute. Neat.

That's a beautiful coin. I'll go ms 65+. Fwiw
Nice looking coin!

Very nice coin. This is the type of coin that I would never crack out of a PCGS/CAC slab.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Always a good Lincoln to own/buy!!!
Out of MY range, unfortunately! But a BEAUT!! Congrats!
Very nice! I'd guess 64BN at a minimum.
What collector would not want that!!!!!! Beautiful! I want one!
Grade=Gem 65 bn maybe rb?
Looks nice.
The color is so smooth and even!
Tough one to grade. I see high point rub and contact marks on the face. High mint state otherwise. I’ll wag a 58+.
Regardless of how that coin was graded, it’s a beauty and exhibits more character than most. Edited: Grade guess removed after viewing images again.

Sweet! Are you going to crack it and put it in the album?
Nice coin.
The white marks on the high points make me think AU 58.

Amazing, I love it!
LOL @PerryHall and @clackamas , no I won’t be cracking this one out for the album, that was a joke. I will say that it mustn’t be easy grading early Lincoln cents from photos. With that said though, I imagine the 3 small hits in the upper left obv, and the 1-2 small hits upper right obv keep this one from grading higher. Any thoughts?
This one graded MS65 and got a green bean to boot. Thanks for looking!
Beautiful surfaces except the light areas that seem to be caught in the raw photos on the high points of Lincoln (ie jaw, cheekbone, hair, beard, etc.). These are diminished once in holder, and the coin has a very lovely color.
Well, just Love coins, period.
I see a number of hits (collar, jaw, cheekbone) in addition to those you mention in the fields. None are severe but maybe the quantity limited the grade. The luster looks strong in the first set of images and a bit more matte thereafter, so hard to say if it had enough "pop" for 66. High grades in BN are pretty tough to make, in general.
Anyway, great coin. Congrats on finally "filling that hole" in style!
Now that is a very nice specimen of an '09S VDB cent. Excellent addition to your collection. Cheers, RickO
That is a nice looking key coin indeed...except the ding on the reverse rim at 3 o'clock...that would bug me.

Great looking coin, not at all surprised by the grade. Nice addition!
I love the coin and am late to the party but would have been at 65 possibly 65+ BN.
Much nicer than the one in my Dansco.
PMD ... sorry, just couldn't resist! LOL

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
That’s a very nice example. After over 50 years of collecting, I’ve never actually owned one. I’d be more than satisfied with this one. Well done!

It’s wonderful when you can get a dream coin and it’s a coin of such quality.
Congrats! You can add it to your virtual coin album on the PCGS Registry Set for an album look.
If only it didn't have that rim nick on the reverse. I find my eye drawn to it every time I look at the photo.
That tiny nick doesn't bother me in the least and is probably only noticeable under high magnification. Very nice coin!.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
Yeah, you’re right. That settles it, I’m gonna crack that puppy out and plug it in the Whitman.
Folder or Bookshelf?
nice one.
This coin has a lovely patina and surfaces. Contact marks are minimal. Congrats.
This is one coin that I never bought because as OP wrote, while it is not rare, it is very popular, and for that reason, has always been pricey.
