| Obverse description | The portrait of Abraham Lincoln facing right with the date to the right, and the mintmark (if present) below the date. Brenner`s initials `VDB` were restored in 1918, and his initials were placed inconspicuously beneath the shoulder of Lincoln on this obverse side. |
| Obverse script | Latin |
| Obverse lettering | IN GOD WE TRUST LIBERTY 1925 D VDB |
| Reverse description | Two wheat ears surrounding lettering. On some of the 1909 issues, Brenner`s initials appear on the bottom of the reverse side. They were removed that year, thus creating two varieties for each of the two mints in 1909. |
