The Legacy Behind the Wheat Penny
Obverse: Victor David Brenner's iconic portrait of Abraham Lincoln graces the obverse, making the Lincoln Cent the longest-running design in U.S. Mint history. Lincoln's profile faces right, with "IN GOD WE TRUST" arcing above and the date below. Brenner's initials "VDB" appear on select early issues, making them particularly sought-after by collectors.
Reverse: The distinctive "wheat ears" design flanks both sides of the denomination, with "ONE CENT" prominently displayed in the center and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" arcing above. The dual wheat stalks symbolize America's agricultural abundance and gave these beloved pennies their enduring nickname.
