1917 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Penny Slabbed INB
Condition: This coin is presented in a slabbed holder from the International Numismatic Bureau. The copper surfaces show a circulated brown patina with visible wear on the high points of Lincoln's portrait. The date 1917 is legible, though the coin displays typical signs of handling and age consistent with a circulated business strike.
The coin was minted in 1917 at the Philadelphia Mint, as indicated by the absence of a mint mark under the date. It is composed of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. The 1917 Lincoln Wheat Cent is a significant piece of American history, minted during the year the United States entered World War I. Designed by Victor David Brenner, the wheat cent replaced the Indian Head penny in 1909 and remains one of the most iconic designs in American numismatics. This specific item is a business strike produced for general circulation and is housed in an INB protective slab for preservation.
