A Historic Pairing of First and Last: The Lincoln Penny Legacy
This remarkable two-coin set, pairs the iconic 1909 VDB Lincoln penny—the very first year of issue—with the final 2025 Lincoln penny, marking the end of an era. It's a must-have for seasoned collectors and history buffs alike!
The 1909 VDB penny is in very good condition and is a true gem of numismatic lore. Designed by Victor David Brenner, this was the first U.S. coin to feature a president's portrait, replacing the Indian Head cent. Brenner's initials, "VDB," proudly appeared on the reverse, but controversy erupted as critics deemed the initials too prominent. The design was quickly altered to remove the initials, making the original 1909 VDB penny a collector's favorite.
Fast forward to 2025, and the Lincoln penny bids farewell to circulation, closing a chapter that began over 115 years ago. The final penny is in brilliant uncirculated condition and represents the culmination of a legacy that has endured through wars, economic shifts, and cultural milestones. Together, these two coins—one marking the bold beginning, the other a poignant finale—create a dynamic "first and last" pairing that no collector should miss. Each set comes in a deluxe display case with Certificate of Authenticity. Secure your piece of history today and own a timeless tribute to the Lincoln penny's enduring legacy!
