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 1930 to 1956, though we cannot guarantee any particular variety of these dates.

Trying to break into the junk metal market and thought I would try these out. All in all good buy most of the coins were from the 40's and 50's. The total melt value is far less than what I paid but I am sure that with the state of the world economy that these will probably be going up in value soon."

I know there are no guarantees when buying a mixed bag like this, but I was disappointed that all of the pennies from TWO orders were from 1940s and 1950s only, nothing earlier. My first purchase had contained a lot of good pennies, but these subsequent purchases were a bust."

These pennies were a lot of fun to go through – many 1914-1916 issues and even earlier. There was even one 1909 VDB. I got back much more in value than the $32.95 I spent on this bag. Great purchase, my first of many more.

Appropriate price with 499 pennies from the 1940’s and 1950’s, and one from 1927. Would have liked some from the 1930’s. One coin had a hole through it. All other pennies in good to very good condition. Coins came in plastic bag.
