This 1939 Early Lincoln Wheat Cent is a classic piece of American numismatic history, struck in copper and featuring the iconic portrait of Abraham Lincoln.

As an early-dated Lincoln cent from the pre-WWII era, this copper coin is a staple for collectors looking to complete a set or own a piece of the long-running Wheat Cent series. The slabbed presentation makes it an excellent addition to any collection of early 20th-century American coinage.
1939 Early Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Coin INB Slabbed
Condition: The coin is presented in a circulated state within an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) holder. It exhibits a brown patina consistent with aged copper, showing visible wear on the high points of Lincoln's portrait and the wheat stalks on the reverse, though the date 1939 remains legible. The metal content is copper. This business strike coin was minted in 1939, a year signaling the end of the Great Depression era and the beginning of World War II in Europe. The Lincoln Wheat Cent series, designed by Victor David Brenner, is a cornerstone of American numismatics, having been introduced in 1909 to commemorate the centennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth. While the holder identifies the item as part of an "Early Lincoln Cent" group from 1930-1939, a specific numerical grade is not provided on the INB label.
