1945 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Penny INB Slab
Condition: This 1945 Lincoln Wheat Cent is presented in a slab by the International Numismatic Bureau (INB). The coin appears to be in circulated condition with a dark brown patina consistent with aged copper. The strike type is a standard business strike. Minted in Philadelphia (no mint mark), this coin consists of copper metal content. Historically, 1945 was the final year of World War II, and these cents were produced using shell casing brass to conserve copper for the war effort, resulting in a composition of 95% copper and 5% zinc. While the holder identifies the series and provides a serial number, a specific numerical grade is not visible on the label.
