1909 VDB Lincoln Cent

This is a very nice 1909 VDB Lincoln Cent with a strong attractive strike and color. This coin even has a neat die crack that starts on the rim about 1/3 of the way north up from the bottom of the right wheat stalk and goes into the outer edge of "America" in the motto. This is about as nice as you will see an XF-45. A couple of things keep it out of AU-50: a small lack of definition on the top of Lincoln's ear and not enough overall luster (3/4 original luster is needed for AU-50).
