1939 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Coin INB Slabbed
1939 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Coin INB Slabbed
This 1939 Lincoln Wheat Cent is a classic piece of American numismatic history, featuring the iconic portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the traditional wheat stalks on the reverse. Struck in copper, this specific coin is housed in a protective slab by the International Numismatic Bureau (INB), featuring a green and white label that ensures the coin remains preserved and protected from environmental damage. As a circulated copper cent from the pre-World War II era, it represents a significant time in United States coinage. The slabbed presentation makes it an excellent addition for collectors looking for graded or certified historical copper pennies to complete their Lincoln Wheat Cent sets.
1939 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Coin INB Slabbed
Condition: The coin is presented in a circulated state with a darkened brown patina consistent with aged copper. The obverse shows visible wear on Lincoln’s portrait and the lettering, while the reverse displays wear on the wheat stalks and the central inscriptions. It is housed in a holder from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB), though no specific numerical grade is assigned on the label. The mint is Philadelphia, as evidenced by the lack of a mint mark under the date. The metal content is a copper alloy, specifically 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. Historically, the 1939 Wheat Cent was struck during the final years of the Great Depression, featuring Victor David Brenner’s iconic design which debuted in 1909 to honor the centennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth. This is a business strike type, intended for general circulation.
