The 1909-S "V. D. B." one-cent coin, featuring Abraham Lincoln on the obverse (or "heads"), and the two wheat ears on the reverse (or "tails") was part of the production run from the first year of the coin being made by the U. S. Mint. There were 103 million Lincoln-design cents made during 1909, mainly in Philadelphia; only about 2.3 million coins were made at the San Francisco mint (denoted by the "S" beneath the date). The designer of the coin was Victor D. Brenner; his initials "V. D. B." were added to the reverse, at the bottom, on only some of the coins made that year: 28 million cents produced in Philadelphia, but only 484,000 of the ones made in San Francisco. Considering that the U. S. Mint has produced over half a trillion Lincoln cents, 484 thousand is a tiny fraction. Scarcity of a particular issue drives up the value of collectible coins; the 1909-S presently (July 2011) commands $825.00 in its lowest grade, while uncirculated specimens reach about $2,000.00.
