Key Fact

Historical significanceThe 1909 Lincoln penny was the first penny to feature a portrait of a real person, marking a significant shift in American coinage.

Artist's LegacyVictor David Brenner, the designer, was inspired by Lincoln's legacy and wanted to create a coin that honored his contributions.

Mintage ControversyThe initial mintage of the 1909 pennies was controversial due to the inclusion of Brenner's initials on the reverse.

Value Fact

In general, common 1909 pennies are valued at a few dollars, while mint condition coins or those with errors can fetch hundreds.
