1909 S Lincoln VDB - 1oz Copper Medallion
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 generation to come. The 1909 "Wheat Ears" reverse design was replaced in 1959 with the Lincoln Memorial Design.
