Historical Significance
The 1910 Lincoln Cent is the first full-year issue to omit the “V.D.B.” initials from the design, following the 1909 controversy. Though not a key date by mintage, it marks an early continuation of the longest-running coin design in U.S. history and reflects the Mint’s evolving approach to public feedback and aesthetics.
