<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Arizona Jack, post: 377414, member: 9308&quot;]<b>From Heritage #442</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Summer F.U.N. auction cat. #442, 2007:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1909-SVDB MS-66RD ICG</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot; The 1909-S VDB cent was widely hoarded at the time of it&#039;s release, and even Mint State coins are available to collectors. Carl Herkowitz, in a November 1995 article in The Numismatist, elaborates on this situation:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot; &quot;The vast majority of the 484,000 minted were pounced upon like no other United States coin and kept as centerpieces, as trophys. A Virtual flood tide of citizens from all walks of life seized these talismens from circulation in a half-century long frenzy, and relatively few pieces were lost to the rigors of chance. &quot; &quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;This Premium Green Red specimen displays beautiful copper-gold luster with hints of light green undertones and occasional blushes of light crimson. The strike is exquisite, bringing crisp definition to the design elements. Close scrutiny with a glass reveals no mentionable abrasions or spots. Unbelievable technical quality and aesthetic appeal.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
