Early Lincoln Wheat Copper Cent 1930 - 1939 INB Slabbed
This listing features an Early Lincoln Wheat Copper Cent dating from the decade of 1930 to 1939. This historic American copper coin is housed in a protective slab from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB) with a green and white identification label. The obverse displays the iconic profile of Abraham Lincoln, while the reverse features the classic wheat ears design that defined American small cents for fifty years. Struck from a nearly pure copper alloy, this piece represents a significant era in United States numismatics during the Great Depression and the lead-up to World War II. The coin is securely sealed in a professional holder to preserve its condition and provide a clear display of both the obverse and reverse faces.
1930-1939 Early Lincoln Wheat Copper Cent INB Graded
Condition: The coin appears to be in circulated condition with a visible brown patina consistent with aged copper. The surfaces show moderate wear on both the obverse portrait and the reverse wheat stalks, though the primary design elements remain identifiable. It is housed in a protective slab by the International Numismatic Bureau (INB). The mint mark is not clearly visible in the provided image, but these were typically struck at the Philadelphia, Denver, or San Francisco mints. The metal content is copper, specifically a bronze alloy used during the 1930s. Historically, this coin represents the Great Depression era of American currency, featuring Victor David Brenner’s iconic Lincoln design which first debuted in 1909. This is a business strike type coin intended for general circulation. The item is graded by INB as an Early Lincoln Cent within the 1930-1939 date range.
