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".


Is 1909 d Lincoln cent rare?

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.
