About this product
Product Information
<h2>David Hall</h2><P>The 1909 Lincoln cent was struck to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. The designer was Lithuanian immigrant sculptor Victor D. Brenner. The original design featured the designer's initials "V.D.B" at the bottom of the reverse and those initials were relatively large. The placement and appearance of the initials was widely criticized in the newspapers of the day. The Mint responded by removing the initials. For the rest of 1909 and until 1918 when they were placed much less noticeably on the bottom truncation of Lincoln's bust, the designer's initials were nowhere to be found on the Lincoln cent. But before the initials were removed, 27,995,000 1909 "VDB" Lincoln cents were struck.</P><P>This coin was saved in huge quantities by first year of issue souvenir savers, Lincoln and history lovers, and maybe by a few speculators feeling the VDB initials would soon be dropped. Over the years I have seen many original Uncirculated rolls and mini-hoards of this coin. Today, there are probably 30,000 to 40,000 Mint State survivors and maybe as many as 20,000 full Red Gems. The coin is usually very well struck. The full Red Gems are often "very Red" in appearance, not subdued at all. This is by far the easiest of the early Philadelphia Lincoln cents to find in Gem full Red condition.</P>

- m***r (126)- Feedback left by buyer.More than a year agoVerified purchaseI ordered an item from keir. Unfortunately, he discovered it wasn't complete when he was packing it. He contacted me immediately. Since I needed the entire set I asked him to cancel. Keir made great efforts, but apparently ebay doesn't like that. We had to wait until the allowed delivery time ran out so I could list it as not received. I want to be clear, Keir did everything he could and I would order from him again.Mattel Mini Dragons BOX w/(8) molds and instruction Booklet (#295508252061)
