Lot 1222
1909-S, S over horizontal S. PCGS graded MS-66 Red. CAC Approved. Blazing luster. Sharp early die state. One of the finest known. Following removal of the VDB initials from coining dies starting in mid-year, the Lincoln cent carried no identifier of the artist until his initial "B" was restored to the coins in 1918, where it was placed in a little noticed area on the truncation of Lincoln's bust. There it has remained to today. Pop 45; 1 finer in 66+. (PCGS # 92434) Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300
