Lincoln Wheat 1909-1958

The Lincoln Wheat Cent came from the mint on the 100th birthday of Abraham Lincoln. Billions of these pennies were minted from 1909 through 1958 and are generally available at very reasonable prices to collectors, even those of modest means. The Lincoln Wheat Cent is also the first U.S. coin with the likeness of a real person, in this case one of the most respected Presidents of the U.S. Abraham Lincoln. And that is probably one of the most appealing things to young collectors. Beyond that there are several known varieties of the Lincoln Wheat Cent, including the the famous 1943 Steel cent. Check your pocket change...you just might have one there! It's amazing to me how many of these coins are still in circulation so don't be surprised when you find a Wheat Cent in your pocket.

Immediately below are a few examples of Certified Lincoln Wheat Cents from various years. Beyond that each year of production for the Lincoln Wheat Cent has its own page so feel free to browse down to the year you're searching for and good look in finding the coin you want.

The Lincoln Wheat Cent is sought after by collectors and investors alike. I don't know of any collector who wouldn't want to own at least one.
