<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinman1981, post: 791887, member: 20610&quot;]Hi, everyone --</p><p><br /></p><p>I was wondering if anybody has any ideas as to the 1909 S VDB Lincoln cent POPULATION figures. Of course, its mintage is 484,000, but that has little to do with the remaining number that survive to this day.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know many were squirreled away back in 1909 and, thus, explains the relatively high number of Mint State specimens, but it seems that many &#039;09 S VDBs I have come across online at eBay and elsewhere have been damaged (corroded, cleaned, etc.). I can&#039;t believe all 484,000 remain, and I&#039;d be betting many wouldn&#039;t ever come close to qualifying as problem-free Good or better.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anybody have any insight on this? The question has nagged me for years and I just thought I&#039;d take a shot here and ask. :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
