1939 Early Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper INB Slabbed
1939 Early Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper INB Slabbed
This 1939 Lincoln Wheat Cent is a classic piece of American numismatic history, struck in copper during the pre-war era. The coin features the iconic bust of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the traditional wheat stalks on the reverse. This specific specimen is professionally housed in a protective slab by the International Numismatic Bureau (INB), featuring a specialized green label. The slab ensures the preservation of the copper surfaces and provides a clear view of the 1939 date and the intricate details of the wheat reverse. As an "Early Lincoln Cent" from the 1930-1939 era, this coin represents the final year of that decade's production, making it a desirable addition for collectors of vintage copper wheat pennies and those seeking slabbed examples of early 20th-century coinage.
1939 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper INB Slabbed
Condition: This 1939 Lincoln Wheat Cent is presented in a circulated brown state, housed within an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) protective slab. The coin exhibits a natural aged patina consistent with copper coinage from this era, with visible wear on the high points of Lincoln's portrait. The mint mark is not present, indicating it was struck at the Philadelphia Mint. This copper coin is a business strike type, representative of the mass-produced currency used in daily commerce during the late Great Depression era. Historically, the 1939 cent belongs to the "Wheat Penny" series, designed by Victor David Brenner, which was issued from 1909 to 1958. While the slab provides a protective holder and identifies the date range of 1930-1939, it does not specify a numerical grade on the label.
