This is one of the most well known coins in numismatic history. It is the 1909 Lincoln Cent also known as a Wheat Penny or Wheat Cent. This type of cent was issued from 1909-1958 and after that the memorial cent was issued and now the shield cent is the newest design. It is a V.D.B cent even though it is hardly visible in the picture. It is Mint State-63 with good luster and according to my Red Book is about $30.00 in value although mine could be worth more. In Good-4 they go for about $12.00 so it is a good coin to own regardless of condition.
(NOTE: The 1909-S version goes for $850.00 in Good-4 and $2,000 in MS-63. 1909 NO V.D.B. goes for $3.50 in G-4 and $24.00 in MS-63. 1909-S NO V.D.B. goes for $100.00 in G-4 and $375.00 in MS-63. 1909-S/Horiz. S goes for $110.00 in G-4 and $400.00 in MS-63.)
