1950 LINCOLN WHEAT CENT COPPER INB HOLDER
1950 Philadelphia Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper INB Slabbed
This 1950 Lincoln Wheat Cent is a classic example of American copper coinage, featuring the iconic portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the traditional wheat stalks on the reverse. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this copper penny comes preserved in a specialized green-label International Numismatic Bureau (INB) holder, which ensures the coin remains protected from environmental damage and handling. The INB slab includes a unique serial number and barcode for inventory tracking. This vintage copper cent is an essential addition for collectors looking to complete their Lincoln Wheat series or for those who appreciate coins housed in identifiable third-party slabs.
1950 Philadelphia Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper INB Graded
Condition: This 1950 Lincoln Wheat Cent is housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) holder. The coin exhibits a circulated chocolate brown patina with visible wear on the high points of Lincoln's portrait and the wheat ears on the reverse. The date and inscriptions remain legible. The mint is Philadelphia, as evidenced by the lack of a mint mark below the date. The metal content is copper. Historically, the Lincoln Wheat Cent was designed by Victor David Brenner and minted from 1909 to 1958, making this a late-era example of the iconic series before the transition to the Memorial reverse in 1959. This is a business strike type, intended for general circulation. The grading is provided by INB, though a specific numeric grade is not visible on the provided label.
