The 1909 release of the Lincoln Cent was a resounding success...but a mere 3 days after release, it fell into scandal. Artist and sculpter Victor David Brenner placed his initials, VDB, prominently on the reverse of the coin. The public and the media believed it was too prominent - and forced their removal - even though millions of coins had already circulated! Already over 100 years old, VDB cents are scarce in high grade and are disappearing as the years pass. Don't wait - add this to your collection today!
Definitely a circulated coin image is clear but scratches are all over the coin.
This is a circulated coin with many visible scratches all over the coin.
