Lincoln Wheat Cent INB Slabbed Copper Penny
Lincoln Wheat Cent INB Slabbed Copper Penny
This item is a vintage Lincoln Wheat Cent struck in copper, featuring the classic portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the iconic twin stalks of wheat on the reverse. The coin is professionally housed in a protective slab by the International Numismatic Bureau (INB), which helps preserve its condition and provides a clear view of both sides of this historic piece of American currency. As a copper wheat penny minted between 1909 and 1958, it represents a beloved era of United States coinage that is highly sought after by collectors. The slabbed presentation makes it an excellent addition to any numismatic collection or a great gift for a history enthusiast.
Lincoln Wheat Cent INB Slabbed Copper Penny
Condition: The item is presented in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab. The coin itself exhibits a significant amount of wear and heavy toning, characteristic of a circulated business strike. The details on the obverse portrait of Abraham Lincoln and the reverse wheat stalks are softened, indicating extensive time in circulation. The copper surface has darkened to a deep brown patina. While the slab provides protection, the grading is not specified on the label beyond identifying the series date range of 1909-1958.
The Lincoln Wheat Cent was first minted in 1909 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, replacing the Indian Head penny. It was the first United States coin to feature a real historical person rather than a personification of Liberty. This coin is composed of copper and features the iconic "Wheat Ears" reverse design by Victor David Brenner, which remained in use until 1958 when it was replaced by the Lincoln Memorial design. This specific item is a standard business strike and is housed in a protective holder for preservation.
