| 1909 First year Lincoln Cent Set (3 coins), Very Fine |
|
Description: |
The last cent struck at San Francisco during the Lincoln’s first year was the 1909-S Wheatie without initials. At the beginning of the year, the mint had struck Indian Head cents, then the coveted 1909-S V.D.B. (offered above), and finally the scarce 1909-S, minus the initials. Now you can own this scarce San Francisco issue, along with its Philadelphia counterparts – the 1909 V.D.B. and the 1909 with no initials.
The new Lincoln cent drew tremendous interest, but controversy soon arose over the size of the designer’s initials. Days after the first coins bearing VDB were released, they were replaced with a new “more respectable” ones, minus the initials. San Francisco minted just over 1.8 million of this second variety, creating the scarce 1909-S Lincoln – a famous key date. Don’t miss this opportunity to add this very popular key date, along with the Philadelphia first-year Wheaties to your collection –call now!
