1956 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Coin INB Slabbed
1956 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Coin INB Slabbed
This 1956 Lincoln Wheat Cent is a classic example of American coinage, struck in copper and featuring the iconic wheat stalks on the reverse. This specific coin comes professionally housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab, which provides protection and preservation for the copper surface. As part of the beloved series that ran from 1909 to 1958, this piece represents one of the final years of the wheat reverse design. The coin is presented in an INB holder with a green-themed label, making it a distinct addition to any collection of vintage copper cents.
1956 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Coin INB Slabbed
Condition: The coin is presented in an INB (International Numismatic Bureau) slab. It displays a circulated brown patina consistent with its age, with visible wear on the high points of Lincoln’s portrait and the wheat stalks on the reverse. The 1956 date and "One Cent" lettering remain legible despite the surface circulation. The coin was minted at the Philadelphia Mint as it lacks a mint mark. It is composed of 95% copper and 5% tin/zinc. The Lincoln Wheat Cent is a classic American coin designed by Victor David Brenner, and the 1956 issue comes from the final years of the Wheat reverse design which ended in 1958. This is a business strike type coin rather than a proof. While the INB holder provides a serial number, a specific numerical grade is not visible on the label.
