  Uncirculated. With photos like this, it is the best I would go.

  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

  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.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
