Lot #918 - 1909-S VDB Lincoln PCGS MS-64RD
Small Cents-Lincoln, Wheat
Bucky The Badger Consignment. Coppery champagne-orange offers slightly matte texture, especially on the reverse where the aspect could easily be mistaken for a matte-proof striking. The reverse falls half a shade closer to the orange hue for which 1909 cents of all kinds are known, this key also flaunting bold, sharp details from a nearly full strike. Perhaps a couple of microscopic carbon flecks on the reverse could be mentioned, but otherwise, the surface remains cheerfully free from distractions.

Dimes-Mercury
Clem Stevens Collection. Superb gem examples also see good strikes, although only 1940-S has an "FB" designation. This coin features remarkable ruby-violet and coral-gold toning that must be seen to be believed. Accompanying is 1945-S for which either side receives a broad splash of Pacific-blue color joining crimson-gold lowlights. Two coin lot.
