1918 THE COMEBACK LINCOLN PENNY

MOST AMERICANS LOVED THE NEW LINCOLN PENNY WHEN IT WAS INTRODUCED IN 1909, THE CENTENNIAL OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN’S BIRTH. FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1793, A CIRCULATING U.S. COIN SHOWED A RECOGNIZABLE PORTRAIT. SOME, HOWEVER WERE OUTRAGED. THEY CLAIMED THAT THE DESIGNER, VICTOR D. BRENNER, HAD MADE HIS INITIALS TOO LARGE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COIN. NEWSPAPERS CAUSED SUCH A SCANDAL THAT THE MINT DIRECTOR STOPPED THE PRESSES JUST DAYS AFTER THE COIN’S RELEASE AND NEW, INITIAL-FREE DIES WERE PREPARED.

THE ORIGINAL REVERSE DESIGN OF THE LINCOLN WAS CREATED BY VICTOR DAVID BRENNER, AND FEATURES TWO EARS OF WHEAT IN MEMORIAL STYLE, SYMBOLIC OF AMERICA’S AGRICULTURAL HERITAGE. WHILE THE LINCOLN CENT HAS BEEN MINTED CONTINUOUSLY SINCE 1909, THE WHEAT EAR REVERSE WAS STRUCK ONLY UNTIL 1958. THE FOLLOWING YEAR, A NEW REVERSE DESIGN WAS INTRODUCED FEATURING THE IMPRESSIVE LINCOLN MEMORIAL.

THE U.S. POSTAL DEPARTMENT ISSUED THE 4-CENT LINCOLN BIRTH SESQUICENTENNIAL COMMEMORATIVE STAMP, THE FOURTH AND FINAL STAMP OF THE SERIES, THROUGH THE WASHINGTON, DC POST OFFICE ON MAY 30, 1959. IT FEATURES A PORTION OF THE FAMED STATUE BY DANIEL CHESTER FRENCH, WHICH SITS IN THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL IN WASHINGTON, D.C. THE ACTUAL SUBJECT MATTER WAS TAKEN FROM A LINE AND PASTEL DRAWING BY FRITZ BUSSE, AS PUBLISHED IN THE BOOK “WASHINGTON – CITY ON THE POTOMAC.” - REFERENCE: POSTAL BULLETIN 4/9/1959
