Lincoln Wheat Cent — Brenner’s memorial in copper

1909–1958 Lincoln Wheat Cent

Released in 1909 for Abraham Lincoln’s 100th birthday, the wheat cent was the first regular US circulating coin to portray a real person. Victor D. Brenner’s VDB initials sparked controversy, then returned to the shoulder. Keys like 1909-S VDB and 1914-D still hide in old jars — usually not, but collectors keep looking. 📷 Wikimedia Commons · Lincoln cent (public domain / free license) — Historical education · Dent Historian · Not a price guide or appraisal.
