1909 PCGS XF Detail Environmental Damage Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Coin
Condition: This copper coin is graded by PCGS as XF Detail, noting Environmental Damage. This indicates that while the coin retains the wear patterns and design definition consistent with an Extremely Fine grade, the surface has been impacted by exposure to elements, resulting in the darker toning and surface characteristics visible. The mint for this 1909 issue is Philadelphia as there is no mint mark present. The metal content is copper. This year is highly significant as it marks the first year of the Lincoln Wheat Cent series, which was introduced to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, replacing the Indian Head cent. The strike type is a standard business strike. The grading is officially certified by PCGS as Genuine Environmental Damage-XF Detail.
