Condition: This Lincoln Wheat Cent is housed in a protective holder from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB). The coin displays a circulated brown patina consistent with its age and copper composition. While the specific numeric grade is not visible on the label, the coin features visible relief of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and retains the characteristic silhouette of the wheat ears design on the reverse. The metal content is copper, which was the standard for this series with the exception of 1943. This business strike coin represents a significant era in American numismatics, as the Lincoln Cent was first introduced in 1909 to commemorate the centennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth, replacing the Indian Head penny and becoming one of the most iconic and longest-running designs in United States minting history.
