1957 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Coin INB Slabbed
1957 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Coin INB Slabbed
This 1957 Lincoln Wheat Cent is a classic piece of American numismatic history, struck in copper and preserved in a professional slab from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB). As one of the final years of the iconic Wheat Cent series, which concluded in 1958, this coin represents the end of an era for the United States penny. The obverse features the timeless profile of Abraham Lincoln, while the reverse showcases the distinctive twin wheat stalks that gave the coin its name. This uncirculated copper cent is housed in a clear protective holder with a serialized green label, ensuring the coin's surfaces remain protected from wear and environmental damage while providing a clear view of its historic details.
1957 Philadelphia Mint Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Coin INB Slabbed
Condition: This coin is housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) holder. It appears in circulated condition with a brown patina typical of copper age. The strike is a business strike from the Philadelphia mint, as indicated by the lack of a mint mark under the date. The metal content is copper (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc). The Lincoln Wheat Cent was designed by Victor David Brenner and was the first United States coin to feature a historical figure, minted from 1909 to 1958. This 1957 issue represents one of the final years of the iconic "Wheat Ears" reverse design before it was changed to the Lincoln Memorial in 1959. The coin is graded by INB, though a specific numerical grade is not visible on the provided label.
