What is a 1909-S Lincoln Cent worth?

Answer 1

August 15, 2009 The 1909-S Lincoln Cent was minted in 2 varieties: The 1909-S and the 1909-S VDB. To determine which coin you have it will first be necessary to locate the mint mark. This mark is a small letter located just below the date. The letter "S" is for San Francisco and is shown as 1909-S in this list. Next it will be necesssary to locate the letters "VDB" on the coin. If your coin has these letters they will be located on the reverse [tails] side of the coin, at the bottom of the design between and below the stems on the wheat heads and along the rim. Some of these letters are difficult to see and a 10x magnifier may be needed. The circulated and uncirculated values of these coins are shown in the following list: Circulated Grades........1909-S........1909-S VDB G4.................................$105............$750 F12...............................$170............$1,200 EF40.............................$265............$1,500 Uncirculated GradesMS60............................$380............$1,800 MS63............................$425............$2,000 MS64............................$485............$2,300 MS65............................$525............$2,800 MS66............................$650............$4,750
