The Lincoln Cent debuted in 1909, replacing the fifty year old
Indian Head Cent design. No other American coin design comes close
to the 93 year life span of the Lincoln Cent. In just a few years
from now, the design will celebrate its 100th anniversary.The
earliest versions of the Lincoln Cent featured Brenner's initials
(V.D.B.) near the bottom of the back of the coin. Apparently,
such a prominent display was considered offensive, and the initials
were removed later in 1909. In 1918, the initials re-appeared,
this time hidden on the truncation of Lincoln's bust. |
