The 1909-S VDB Wheat Penny
The 1909 San Francisco, California-minted "VDB" Wheat Cent is considered to be one of the more valuable Wheat Pennies for collectors. VDB was the designers initials, Victor David Brenner.
The designer put his initials between the stalks of wheat on the lower reverse side. There were only 484,000 of these produced because the public didn't like the fact that Brenner's initials were so prominently displayed.
