1909-1958 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Coin INB
1909-1958 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Coin INB Slabbed
This classic Lincoln Wheat Cent is a staple of American numismatics, minted during the beloved era of 1909 to 1958. Struck in copper, this coin features the iconic profile of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the dual wheat stalks on the reverse, symbolizing American agriculture and prosperity. This specific specimen comes housed in a protective International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab with a green label, ensuring the coin remains preserved and providing a professional presentation for any collection. As a copper wheat penny, it represents a significant chapter in U.S. coinage history, making it an excellent addition for collectors looking to complete a date set or own a piece of mid-century Americana.
1909-1958 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Coin INB Graded
Condition: This Lincoln Wheat Cent is presented in a circulated state with a dark brown patina consistent with aged copper. The details on both the obverse portrait of Abraham Lincoln and the reverse wheat stalks show significant wear, suggesting the coin transitioned through general commerce for an extended period. It is housed in a holder from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB), though no specific numerical grade is assigned on the label. The mint mark and specific date are difficult to discern due to the heavy circulation and image resolution. The metal content is copper, which was the standard composition for the series except for the 1943 steel transition. Historically, the Lincoln Wheat Cent was the first US cent to feature a historical figure, replacing the Indian Head design in 1909 to commemorate the centennial of Lincoln's birth. This coin is a business strike type, intended for everyday use rather than collectors' proof sets.
