Lincoln Wheat Cent

Brief Description

The obverse features a profile bust of Abraham Lincoln facing right, with the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' above and 'LIBERTY' to the left. The reverse typically features two stalks of wheat flanking the words 'ONE CENT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'.

Historical Significance

1922 is a significant year for Lincoln Cents because the Philadelphia Mint did not produce any pennies that year; all were struck at the Denver Mint. Some examples exhibit a 'No D' or 'Weak D' mint mark due to worn dies, which are highly prized by collectors.

Estimated Value

$10.00 – $500.00+ (Depends heavily on the presence/absence of a mint mark and overall grade)

Care Instructions

Keep the coin in its protective plastic capsule to prevent oxidation and scratches. Handle only by the edges and avoid cleaning or polishing, as this can severely decrease the numismatic value.
