Best Answer

The most valuable and desireable Lincoln cent is the 1909 S VDB coin. If you have a 1909 S minted cent, flip the coin over to the reverse side and look at the bottom between the wheat ears. If you see the initials "V.D.B." there in very small print, you have a highly sought after Lincoln cent. A coin in average condition (about VG20) will fetch about $1000 in the current (2011) market.

"V.D.B." was the coin designer's initials and stand for "Victor D. Brenner".
