About This Item

The Lincoln Cent, America’s most enduring design type, debuted in 1909. Created by Victor David Brenner, the new coin featured a portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the front and two “ears” of wheat on the back. Although the coin was an immediate success, complaints were raised about the presence of Brenner’s initials (V.D.B.) on the back of the coin. As a result, new dies were made without the initials, creating two varieties for the year. Although Brenner’s initials re-appeared in 1918 (hidden at the base of Lincoln’s bust), their prominence on the 1909-VDB Cent makes this an extremely popular variety.
