Own the Legendary 1909 "V.D.B." First Lincoln Cent, BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED

The designer's V.D.B. initials caused a scandal!

This historic first Lincoln penny stopped being minted just days after its release. Issued for the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's birth, it was greeted with wild public acclaim. But some newspapers complained that designer Victor D. Brenner's initials were too large. The Mint Director stopped the presses, while initial-free dies were prepared. Now you can own the unique 1909 "V.D.B." original Lincoln penny in pristine Brilliant Uncirculated quality, the way Americans first saw it. Each retains original luster and shows absolutely no sign of wear.
