#1-1909 Pennies
—
A 1909 penny is really important in the Cheesie Mack Is Not a Genius or Anything story.
In 1909, there were six different pennies minted in the United States. The government started out making Indian Head cents, then switched to Lincoln cents with VDB (the designer’s initials) on the back. After a couple of days, the initials were removed. Since both the Philadelphia and San Francisco mints produced each of these one-cent coins, there were six different cents made in 1909. In total, the two mints produced about 118 million one-cent coins in 1909. In 2010, the U.S. mints produced over four billion one-cent coins!
Here are pictures of all six 1909 coins.
About 14 million 1909 Indian Head cents were minted in Philadelphia.
—
1909 Indian Head cents from San Francisco are very valuable. Only 309,000 were made.
—
About 28 million 1909 VDB Lincoln cents were minted in Philadelphia.
—
1909-S VDB Lincoln cents from San Francisco are really rare. Only 484,000 were produced.
—
Lots and lots of 1909 Lincoln cents with no VDB were minted in Philadelphia…almost 73 million.
—
Just under 2 million 1909-S Lincoln cents with no VDB were minted in San Francisco.

I Have A Few 1909 Wheat,An One 1909 Vdb S Also A Wheat,What Are The Worth?
The 1909S VDB is worth a lot. Good for you.
I think I might have one if those pennies. I have one that looks like it, at least!
Whoa! If you do, you are rich!
I have a Licoln penny from 1911
I just looked it up. If your penny is 1911-S (San Francisco), it’s really valuable. And if it’s a D (Denver) it’s worth a lot, too.

I found it in my dad’s old jar of pennies he saved.
That is very weird.
I have a penny from 1936. It is worth 35 cents- $15. 🙁
Lucky you! If it has a letter under the 1936, it’s from San Francisco or Denver. If it is blank, it’s from Philadelphia.

When did they make the first coin?
Good question. I looked it up, and here’s what I found.
The oldest coin ever found was discovered in Efesos, an ancient city (now part of Turkey) and prosperous trading center on the coast of the Mediterrean Sea. The coin is more than 2,700 years old and is made from electrum, a natural occurring alloy of gold and silver.
