This coin was given to me by Josh Zachman, from an original roll saved by his great-grandfather Leroy Zachman in 1909. Leroy Zachman was an Ohio banker. His signature appears on banknotes of the early 20th century.
A number of original mint-fresh coin rolls he saved before WW1 are in the hands of Josh and his other descendants. As such, this coin has a known, unbroken provenance dating all the way back to the time it was issued in 1909. I was pleased with the grade it received at PCGS.

Mine doesn't quite have that kind of story behind it, but I'm glad it's part of my collection. It almost wasn't.
USAF (Ret.) 1985 - 2005. E-4B Aircraft Maintenance Crew Chief and Contracting Officer.
My current Registry sets:
✓ Everyman Mint State Carson City Morgan Dollars (1878 – 1893)
✓ Everyman Mint State Lincoln Cents (1909 – 1958)
✓ Morgan Dollar GSA Hoard (1878 – 1891)
No such story here, but is one of a kind.

1909 Plain in Matte Proof. I wish that this were the "VDB" and NOT because of the high price. I wanted to complete the 20th century type coins in Proof, and that one won't let me do it.

CAC has given a green bean to only 9, 1926-S MS65 RB Lincolns.
Wow! That’s like a 40% acceptance rate! Big numbers for such a poorly made issue 😜

Hey, @hfjacinto , I love your slabbed KEY date 1909-S VDB! And it merits a CAC sticker too!
Did you know that currently there are 1,438 graded AU55 (919 by PCGS and 519 by NGC). Of those 1,438, only 85 have a CAC sticker (plus 9 graded AU55 by CACG)!

This is one that I bought the moment I saw it, this one spoke to me, I think it is a fantastic example!

Wonderful looking Lincoln Terry. A whisper away from red. Zack.
My earliest Lincoln.
Oh yeah, and
Indeed, thank you!
It just has a wonderful butterscotch color to it, one of my favorite Lincolns!
