@shopsbh: Could this be the most famous penny in American history? 🪙 Meet the 1909-S VDB Lincoln Wheat Penny, one of the most sought-after coins in American numismatics! In 1909, the U.S. Mint introduced the Lincoln cent to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. Designer Victor David Brenner placed his initials, VDB, on the reverse of the coin. The initials sparked controversy, and the Mint quickly removed them. Only 484,000 examples were struck at the San Francisco Mint before the change, making the 1909-S VDB one of the key dates in the Lincoln cent series. Even heavily circulated examples can be worth hundreds of dollars, while exceptional specimens can sell for thousands! 📚 This collectible coin book will be available @Briggs Auction, Inc. this Friday! A great opportunity for coin collectors and anyone fascinated by American history. Have you ever found a valuable penny hiding in an old collection? #1909SVDB #RareCoins #CoinCollecting #BriggsAuction
