Best Answer

The Denver mint did not mint Lincoln cents in 1909, so a 1909 D Lincoln cent doesn't exist. The only two mints to mint Lincoln cents in that year were Philadelphia (no mintmark) and San Fransisco. Lincoln cents started being minted in Denver in 1911. But any 1909 cent is rare, but it prices differ greatly depending on the mintmark, so I can't really say any value without knowing the true mintmark of the coin.

How many P VDB pennies were made?

I'm assuming your question refers to 1909 Lincoln cents minted at Philadelphia and with VDB on the reverse side. According to PCGS, mintage figures for all 1909 Lincoln cents are: 1909 VDB: 27,995,000 1909-S VDB: 484,000 1909: 72,700,000 1909-S: 1,825,000 Remember that Philadelphia didn't (and doesn't) put a mint mark on cents so there technically isn't a "P" cent, and all cents minted since 1918 have Victor D. Brenner's initials on them.
