Owner Comments:

I picked this beauty up on a Heritage auction in 2010. It has a Red designation, but tends more towards red-brown. It's an honest MS64. I have always been fascinated by the vdb coins of 1909 and was willing to overpay for it at the time (which I did). Happily, the value has caught up and passed what I paid. In the 1960's, I had a friend whose father had a complete set of Lincolns. I remember my friend allowing me to handle his father's 1909-S vdb and double die 1955. I am glad his father did not catch us.
