Golden State Mint (GSM) is the manufacturer of the 5 oz Silver Lincoln Wheat Cent Round, which is made of .999 fine silver and struck from five troy ounces. The design replicates the 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent — the original coin that triggered one of the most-discussed controversies in US Mint history. BOLD is an authorized GSM dealer and all the rounds are shipped directly from our verified stock.
By the time the Lincoln cent was issued in 1909, the public had noticed a new feature of the coin, the initials V.D.B. on the reverse.By the time the Lincoln cent became circulation in 1909, the public had observed the Lincoln cent had an unusual feature: the initials V.D.B. on the reverse side. There was a great backlash. The US Mint removed the initials since it struck fewer than 28 million pieces. Of these few, only 484,000 were of San Francisco Mint origin. The 1909-S VDB was a collector's dream the day after it left the mint and has been featured on the list of most desirable coins in American numismatics since then.
This round was the white whale for all coin collectors growing up around my grandfather's stash, and for all serious collectors, this design has added meaning that a generic round couldn't provide — we carry it because it's at that point where the interest of all collectors and stackers converge.

Golden State Mint's 1909-S Lincoln Wheat Cent round reproduces the VDB design and the San Francisco Mint mark, and retains Brenner's initials on the reverse the same as the original, which was the cause of the controversy. The obverse portrait, like the original relief, is faithful and this round is very recognisable for both silver stackers and silver collectors. The production quality of GSM is consistent throughout the series, and this is because they produce them at the same depth.
We only carry items that we will purchase again, and that's this round and then some at BOLD Precious Metals. The design has more collector interest than the 5 troy oz of .999 fine silver, but the 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent is one of the most popular stories in American numismatics. Once it's time to part ways with the coin, that dual appeal, along with the fact that all coin collectors are familiar with the tale, generally helps to bolster resale value. You aren't trapped with us; we have a buy-back program that has good rates and a simple policy. We believe that's more important than any sales pitch.
The bottom line here is 5 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, but pieces with designs have a premium value over spot silver, and we believe you deserve to know what that premium is before you purchase it. BOLD Precious Metals displays live pricing based on the spot rate, enabling you to see the premium in real dollars, anytime. If this is the same round on offer for a lower price at another authorized dealer, our BOLD Pricing Guarantee assures you we will match their published price. No 'compare at' figures, only a clear-cut price you can double-check. GREAT UNKNOWN: FREE SHIPPING WHEN YOUR ORDER EXCEEDS $199.00, FULL INSURED.
