1944 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper INB Slabbed 867
This 1944 Lincoln Wheat Cent is a classic piece of American history, struck in copper during the final years of World War II. This specific coin comes professionally housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab, ensuring the protection of the copper surfaces and the integrity of the coin for years to come. The obverse features the iconic portrait of Abraham Lincoln, while the reverse displays the historic wheat ears design used from 1909-1958. As a circulated copper cent from the mid-1940s, it serves as a tangible connection to the home front era and remains a staple for any serious collector of the Lincoln series. The slab features a green INB label and is marked with tracking number 867 for inventory identification.
1944 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper INB Slabbed 867
Condition: This 1944 Lincoln Wheat Cent is housed in a slab from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB). The coin appears to be in circulated condition with a brown copper patina and visible wear on the high points of the design. The mint mark is not visible in the provided image, suggesting it was likely struck at the Philadelphia Mint. The metal content is copper, specifically the brass alloy used during this era. Historically, the 1944 cent marked a return to the use of recycled shell casings for coinage material following the experimental steel cents of 1943 during World War II. This is a business strike type coin intended for general circulation. While it is slabbed by INB, a numeric grade is not specified on the label.
