FREE: 1918 LINCOLN WHEAT PENNY

The listing, 1918 LINCOLN WHEAT PENNY has ended.

First, a brief history of the wheat penny: This one-cent coin, produced between 1909 to 1958, is also known as the Lincoln Wheat Ear Cent, Wheat Back, Straw Penny, Wheat Head and Wheatie.

A New York sculptor, Victor David Brenner designed both sides of the coin. Brenner's obverse (Heads) design for the coin is the longest-running design in United States Mint history - and instantly recognizable to any American.

Victor D. Brenner's initials (VDB), appeared below the wheat stalks on the reverse (Tails) of the coin until public ***** led to their removal. In 1918, Brenner's initials were restored to obverse -- just below Lincoln's shoulder.

Only 484,000 of the original "VDB" coins were minted in San Francisco for 1909 before the public outcry over the prominence of Brenner's initials.

THE US WHEAT PENNY WAS ISSUED WITH LINCOLN ON THE FRONT AND WHEAT ON THE REVERSE FROM 1909-1958.
95% COPPER.
