THE LINCOLN CENT.
Design Of New Penny Whose Coinage
Has Been Stopped

The new Lincoln cent, the coinage of
which has been suspended by the order
Of Secretary of the Treasury Mae
Neagh on account of the Designers
Initials appearing prominently on the.
roin, is of the same size as the fa-
miliar Indian head" design On the
face of the penny is a bust of Abra-
| ham Lincoln in profile facing toward
the right Above the head is the mot
to "ln God We Trust" and to the left
| of the figure the word Liberty" In
| the lower right hand corner is the date.
| 1909.
On the reverse. the words "Oue
Cent" stand forth in bold type and
beneath them United States of Amer
ica' in smaller lettering. At the top
of the coin is the motto "E Plurbus
Unum." Two conventional wheat
stalks extend around the lettering and
close to the base of the coin are the
artists initials, ~. ID. b." in minute
type. The circle of milled embossing
which runs around the face and re
verse of the old penny Is absent from
the new coin, and the entire design is.
noteworthy for its simplicity of line.
The bust of Lincoln was designed
from photograph in the possession of
Charles Eliot Norton and shows the
late president with face relaxed and "A
benign expression. 1t is said to repro
ducp his expression when talking to-
children.
The designer of the coin is Victor D.
Brenner. a native of Russia and thir-
ty-seven years old. According to Mau-
rice FiShberg. an intimate friend, Mr..
Brenner never. sold matches. but has
always been an engraver and sculp-
tor.
"Some of the medals which he de-
signed fifteen years ago are excellent
examples of his remarkable ability in
this art" says Mr.. Fishberg. ''ln the
last seven years. the major part of
which he spent in Europe, he has also
done some excellent work as sculp-
tor. While noteworthy piece of
work, the Lincoln penny Is not the
only nor the best example of his ca
pacity as medalist. His bas-relief of
ex-President Roosevelt is considered
by connoisseurs as one of the best
pieces of plastic art
''The fact is that the Brenner fam.
lily have been engravers for genera
tions Mr., Brenner learned engrav-
ing from his father; one of his broth.
ers is an engraver in Denver and
another is promising young sculptor
in Paris. None of them has sold
matches. though in his earlier days in
New York city Mr.. Victor Bremen
earned much less while following his
art then some match peddIers"
Mr.. Brenner always admired Lin
coins anti-slavery policy and, learning
that the government was searching fOi
new penny design. preferably that
of Lincoln. he obtained Dr. Norton's
photograph and soon completed the
present design. This was sent to
Washington, where it was accepted.
New dies of the coin will he pre-
pared as soon as possible substituting;
for the initials of the designer the sin,
gle initial "B" in an obscure part of
the design.
