With your purchase of Wheat Pennies in this 5 Pound Mixed Bag listing, you will receive a canvas bag containing a total weight of 5 Pounds worth of US Pennies. These pennies come specifically from the copper Wheat Penny range issued between 1909 and 1958. Though President Lincolns bust remains on the US Penny today, these Wheat Pennies are so-named for the use of wheat stalks in the reverse design that continued only through 1958.

Please remember that the coins in this 5 Pound Mixed Bag will have a variety of different date marks. Though older coins from the 1910s and 1920s are fewer in number, it is possible to receive those date marks in the bag alongside those from the 1940s and 1950s. It is also possible your bag could contain the 1943 War Pennies or Steel Pennies. Steel Pennies had all copper and most zinc removed to support armaments’ needs during the war and featured a steel core with zinc coating.

Obverse

The obverse side of all Wheat Pennies includes the right-profile bust of President Abraham Lincoln. The presidents bust is accompanied by inscriptions of In God We Trust above Lincolns head, Liberty behind his bust, and a date mark to the front. Coins with a mint mark will feature that mark below the date mark.

Reverse

On the reverse is the design that gives the Wheat Penny its name. The denomination of the coin is marked in the center as One Cent with United States of America engraved beneath it. Around these two inscriptions are wheat stalks that frame the denomination and nation of issue. E Pluribus Unum is inscribed above.

History

The Wheat Penny was designed in 1909 by Victor David Brenner for the United States Mint. The obverse and reverse design pairing in this program was used through 1958, with the 1959 coin debuting a new reverse design with the image of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.
