History: The 1909 VDB Lincoln Penny marks the inaugural year of the Lincoln cent series, which has become one of the most enduring and beloved coinage designs in American history. Introduced to commemorate the 100th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's birth, its design was a significant departure from previous American coinage, featuring a realistic portrait of a historical figure.
Design Excellence: The obverse of the penny showcases the iconic profile of Abraham Lincoln, designed by Victor David Brenner, whose initials "VDB" are famously inscribed on the reverse of this initial release. The reverse design features two wheat ears flanking the words "ONE CENT" and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," symbolizing the nation's agricultural heritage.
Significance of the VDB Initials: The inclusion of Brenner's initials, VDB, on the reverse at the bottom center of the coin was a point of contention that led to their removal in later mintages, making the 1909 VDB version especially sought after by collectors for its uniqueness and historical significance.
