Up for auction/sale is a iconic first-year 1909 VDB Lincoln Wheat Cent in Very Fine (VF) condition.

Struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1909 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, this coin features the famous designer initials V.D.B. (for Victor David Brenner) prominently placed along the bottom reverse rim. Public outcry over the prominence of the initials led the Treasury to halt production shortly after release, creating an immediate collectible sensation. This specimen exhibits strong, bold VF detail across Lincoln's portrait and the reverse wheat ears, making it a must-have cornerstone for any Lincoln Cent collection or historic 20th-century type set.
