About the Item

Maquette or Sculpture of Victor David Brenner's 1933 D Lincoln Penny Front/Obverse Offered for sale is a remarkable maquette or sculpture replicating Victor David Brenner's iconic 1933 D Lincoln Penny Front/Obverse. Monumental in size, it measures 12 inches in diameter, a stark contrast to the actual US mint's diameter of 0.750 inches (304 mm to 19mm). Weighing 11 pounds of solid copper, compared to the weight of an actual 0.005 Lincoln penny. It would take close to 1,700 copper pennies to equal this sculpture. This authentic and meticulously crafted unmarked work faithfully captures the essence of Brenner's original design from 1909. The front and reverse are intricately cast and modeled, showcasing remarkable precision and attention to detail. Notably, the back remains unfinished, adding to its mystique. The origins of this work pose an intriguing mystery. It's speculated to have served as an internal model at the Denver Mint, possibly as a maquette or educational or instructional tool. Alternatively, it could have been commissioned as a special order 'tourist coin' by the US Mint. Another theory suggests it may be the work of an unknown American sculptor unrelated to the US Mint. Regardless of its origins, the sheer size and quality of craftsmanship are awe-inspiring, reflecting unparalleled artistic and numismatic precision. Complete with a three-prong wooden hanging bracket, it is removable by unscrewing the arrow-marked screw to release the maquette or sculpture. This outstanding object is ready to be showcased and appreciated. It stands as a testament to the artistry and historical significance of the 1933 period, inviting admiration and intrigue from collectors and enthusiasts alike, making it ready to grace any collection or space with its artistic and historical significance.
