1957 LINCOLN WHEAT CENT COPPER INB HOLDER
1957 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper INB Slabbed Holder
This 1957 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. The coin is housed in a specialized protective slab from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB), featuring a distinct green label that provides a professional presentation for collectors. As a late-date issue from the beloved Wheat Cent series, which concluded in 1958, this copper penny represents a piece of numismatic history. The inclusion of the INB holder ensures the coin remains preserved and protected from environmental wear, making it a great addition to any collection focused on Lincoln cents or vintage US copper currency.
1957 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper INB Holder
Condition: The coin appears to be in circulated condition with a dark brown patina and noticeable surface wear, typical of a copper cent that has seen use in commerce. There is visible toning and some softening of the fine details on the portrait and lettering. It is housed in a slab from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB), though no specific numerical grade is assigned on the label. The mint is Philadelphia, as evidenced by the lack of a mint mark under the 1957 date. The metal content is copper (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc). Historically, the 1957 Lincoln Wheat Cent belongs to the final years of the Wheat Reverse design, which was replaced in 1959 by the Lincoln Memorial design to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's birth. This is a business strike type coin intended for general circulation.
