1909-P Indian & Lincoln Cent 2-pc Set XF

1909 LAST Year Indian And FIRST Year Lincoln Cents

This two-piece set consists of two 1909 Pennies—a last year of issue 1909-P Indian Cent and a first year of issue 1909-P Lincoln Cent complete with designer Victor David Brenner’s scandalous “VBD” initials, both in Extremely Fine (XF) condition. ­The Indian Cent was minted from 1859 to 1909, and the Lincoln Cent is still minted today, the longest-running U.S. coin design in history. The inclusion of Brenner’s initials led to complaints that this was a show of vanity, so the U.S. Mint removed the initials later that year. Unlike the cents struck today, the 1909 cents were struck in 95% copper, giving them a different look than contemporary pennies. Limited availability, so order now!

COIN HIGHLIGHTS:

• THE LAST-EVER INDIAN HEAD CENT – The Indian Head Cent was designed by James B. Longacre, the U.S. Mint’s 4th Chief Engraver, and features Miss Liberty with a beaded necklace and a hair band emblazoned with a diamond. It was issued from 1859 to 1909.
• THE FIRST-EVER LINCOLN CENT – The Lincoln Cent was designed by famed sculptor Victor David Brenner and was first struck in 1909 to observe the 100th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln’s birth in 1809.
• STRUCK IN LUSTROUS COPPER – Unlike today’s Lincoln Pennies that are struck in copper-plated zinc, these coins were struck in 95% copper—and the Lincoln Cent would continue to be struck in coper until 1982 except for 1943 when they were struck in steel during World War II.
• UNITED STATES LEGAL TENDER – These coins are one cent legal tender in the United States.
• EXTREMELY FINE CONDITION – Each coin in your 1909-P Indian & Lincoln Cent Two-Piece Set will come in Extremely Fine (XF) condition—remarkable for coins that are more than 110 years old from a series that has seen heavy circulation over the past century.
