1909 VDB Copper Penny NGC BU Bag Fragment UNC
1909 VDB Lincoln Cent Copper Penny NGC Brilliant Uncirculated Original Bag Fragment
This historic 1909 VDB Lincoln Cent is composed of copper and represents the highly sought-after first year of the Lincoln penny series. The coin is graded by NGC as Brilliant Uncirculated (UNC) and is housed in a specialty Bullion PLUS slab that features a unique original mint bag fragment embedded within the label. This rare packaging provides a direct physical link to the coin's original storage at the United States Mint. The reverse clearly displays the prominent V.D.B. initials of designer Victor David Brenner at the bottom rim, a feature that was removed shortly after production began in 1909, making this a key transitional piece for collectors.
1909 VDB 1C Copper Penny NGC Brilliant Uncirculated with Original Bag Fragment
Condition: This copper penny is graded by NGC as Brilliant Uncirculated (BU), indicating it has never entered general circulation and retains its original mint luster. Accompanying the coin in the slab is a fragment of the original canvas bag used for transporting these coins from the mint. The strike type is a standard business strike. Minted in Philadelphia, this coin is composed of copper and represents the first year of the Lincoln Cent series. The 1909 VDB is highly significant in numismatic history as it features the prominent initials of the designer, Victor David Brenner, on the reverse. These initials were removed shortly after production began due to public outcry, making the VDB variety a sought-after historical artifact for collectors.
