1910–1929 One-Pound Bag (120 Coins) Lincoln Wheat-Back Cents

Did You Get Your Wheat Ears?

For more than 100 years, the Lincoln Cent has been a familiar coin. Designed by Victor David Brenner, it was originally issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln’s birth and was the first coin to depict the likeness of an actual person compared to all other previous coin series that depicted various renderings of Liberty. For the first 50 years of its run from 1909 to 1958, the coins were called “Wheat-Back Cents” for their distinctive wheat ears that appeared on the reverse. The wheat ears were replaced by the Lincoln Memorial beginning in 1959.

Most of these pennies have long since disappeared, but now you can acquire them in a one-Troy-pound bag! These coins come struck between 1910 and 1929 – a date range that encompasses World War I, Prohibition and the Roaring ’20s. It was also a time during which just 4% of all Wheat Cents were struck!
