About this Product

Full Product Name

100 YEARS....AND COUNTING!

This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the Lincoln Cent - the longest lived design in United States history. As we near the centennial milestone, previous issues are heating up...especially the little known first year of issue, the "VDB" Cent.

Made for just 4 days...

Upon the release of the first-ever Lincoln Cent in 1909, a public protest was quickly organized. You see, Victor David Brenner, designer of the Lincoln Cent,placed his initials prominently on the reverse of the penny...creating a hard to find,little known classic for generations to come.

Did you know ??

The Lincoln Penny was inspired by President Theodore Roosevelt

The Penny is the oldest U.S. Coin...and soon may be disappearing from circulation.

The "Wheat Ears" reverse design was replaced in 1959 with the Lincoln Memorial Design

This coveted, first year of issue, 1909 Lincoln Cent Penny in circulated condition will arrive to you encapsulated for protection and inside of our custom packaging.
