The 1909 Lincoln Cent with a Wheat Reverse is a significant collectible coin in American numismatics. It was minted in Philadelphia and represents the first year of the Lincoln Cent series, featuring the iconic design by Victor David Brenner. The reverse side displays two wheat ears, a design that was used until 1958. This particular coin is highly sought after by collectors, especially in higher grades, due to its historical importance and the transition from the Indian Head Cent to the Lincoln design. The 1909-S V.D.B. variety, which includes the designer's initials, is especially rare and valuable.
