The obverse of the Wheat Penny features a portrait of President Abraham Lincoln. “IN GOD WE TRUST” is inscribed, as is the year of issue.
The reverse features two wheat stalks encircling the sides of the coin. Between them lie the inscriptions “ONE CENT” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” while “E PLURIBUS UNUM” sits above.
The Wheat Penny was designed by Victor D. Brenner and issued by the US Mint from 1909 to 1956, and it has since become a classic 21st century American coin. The obverse was commemorative of the 100th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth. These pennies were made mostly of copper, but steel versions were struck during WWII.
Wheat Pennies come with a few various markings, depending on where and when they were made. A mintmark is sometimes found under the date, with an “S” for San Francisco or a “D” for Denver. The absence of a mintmark means that it was made in Philadelphia.
Due to their numismatic appeal, Wheat Pennies are often valued at several times their face value, or higher for coins in excellent condition. This fact–along with their metal content–makes them a good investment, particularly for investors who enjoy collecting “junk” coins.
Your 500 Wheat Pennies will ship in a sealed bag that weighs over three pounds. Dates will range from 1920 to 1929, though we cannot guarantee any particular variety of these dates.

This was what I expected, had hoped for better, but is usually what you get since these coins are generally looked through very thoroughly at least three times before I get them. Would have liked more D/S mints, were mostly the "common" P's, couple of 1921's, no key/semi-key or "one dollar" coins...had 161 out of 577 were 1920-S but 2/3 of those were pretty well worn probably be P-0 or cull, same for rest of lot. Not a total loss tho, great for bulk barrel filler, not for individual coin resale. Going to try the 30's next for same reason."

I bought to fill in some slots in a starter set. It was a nice mix with a couple bonus cents. A VG 1924-D and a G 1924-S. Now I still have a jar that I can let a young collector go through. ( With the 500 cents from the teens and 30s. I have found it so meditative that after going through these 1500 cents, I bought the 2500 Cu bag and will probably get a wheat bag. Many of my slots have EF40 specimens in them."
