Description
The 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent is a low-mintage coin of the United States Lincoln Penny series. It is a key date variety of the one-cent coin produced by the United States Mint in San Francisco in 1909.
The 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent is a rare coin because only 484,000 were minted.
The coin was discontinued a few weeks after its release in August 1909.
The coin was discontinued due to public outcry over the prominent “VDB” initials on the reverse.
The initials were removed and the coin was sent back into production without them for many years.
The 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent is still considered a numismatic rarity and continues to enthrall collectors today.
