Default FA: 1909 Lincoln Cent PCGS MS66RD NOT VDB

Victor D Brenner's initals, VDB, were placed at the bottom of the reverse for
the first Lincoln cents struck this year, the first of the new design. Later,
folks complained about the prominent position of Brenenr's initials and the
rest of the year and unil 1918, the coins were struck with NO initials!

As a consequence, many thought the earlier VDB version would be very valuable
someday and saved these coins in large quantities. The later version, this one,
were not saved in such numbers. These are FAR scarcer in Gem than the more
common 1909 VDBs. This is an outstanding example of the genre with wonderful
surfaces and color.
