December 2025 Showcase Auction - The James A. Stack, Sr. Collection Part I

Lot Description: Offered is one of the absolute finest certified survivors of this key date Lincoln cent issue in the Red and Brown category. It is an exquisite Superb Gem with plenty of warm mint orange color retained. Both sides have picked up some light toning, but remain free of even the most trivial blemishes. Although produced in greater numbers than its V.D.B. counterpart, the 1909-S is rarer in the finest Mint State grades. 1,825,000 examples were struck and most are found in grades up through MS-66, but Superb survivors are rare. Fewer examples were set aside at the time of delivery and were less likely to be preserved over the years given the lack of the designer's initials on the reverse. This captivating MS-67 RB is a remarkable condition rarity that is sure to attract the most advanced Lincoln cent collectors.
