1909 Lincoln Cent - VDB - NGC 66 Red Brown

This special V.D.B. Lincoln Cent from 1909 is considered to be one of the most popular collectors' coins in U.S. Mint history.

A large part of the coins popularity is due to the incredible story surrounding the 'mistake' and the fact that collectors LOVE U.S. Mint error coins -- and technically this WAS an error coin (at least in collector's eyes!)

The V.D.B. Lincoln Cent had a mintage of 27,995,000 total coins -- yet when you start looking for them in MS66 or better condition -- you begin to see how truly rare they really are:
