Victor David Brenner was born in Lithuania and immigrated to the United States in 1890. He settled in the New York City area, worked during the day and attended art classes at Cooper Union at night. In the years that followed Brenner became one of the country’s premiere medallists. Theodore Roosevelt saw a copy of Brenner’s Lincoln plaque and chose him to design the artwork on the Lincoln penny. To date his design is believed to be the longest running coin design in US mint history.
