Lincoln Memorial Pennies
Learning The History Of Wheat Coins
In 1909 to 1959, the wheat coin circulated in the US. It was a commemorative coin created by Victor David Brenner that featured Abraham Lincoln on the face of the coin with two stalks of wheat at the rear. And if you are coin collector, the wheat coins should never leave your collection.
Previously, wheat coin was deemed unacceptable in America since it featured a person in the coin. However, because the late Abraham Lincoln was a lot respected and an iconic figure in the American history next to the Statue of Liberty, the circulation of wheat penny has been allowed in the market.
In 1943, the US Mint started designing steel pennies via zinc glaze. These coins rusted quickly and the zinc coating has worn out quickly. In 1944, copper was then again used to produce wheat pennies using recycle gun shell casings.
In 1955, the US Mint made an error with creating 24,000 wheat pennies just before it was make public. Despite the fact that there were errors in the newly manufactured wheat pennies, the US Mint had decided to release the coins in the circulation with regard that the mistake on the coin will not be discovered. These errors have increased the interest in coin collection all around America.
In addition in 1959, in order to credit the 100th Abraham Lincoln’s memorial, it was redesigned by Frank Gasparo. The type of Gasparo brought about new changes as well as the changing of two wheat stalks within the back of the coin with the picture of Lincoln Memorial.
The Mint had evolve into numerous alloy kinds in 1982 and led to seven major forms of the Lincoln Memorial Penny. Most of the wheat pennies these days are held in treasure by many private coin collectors. It was said that the US Mint deemed stopping the production of wheat cent after 100 years in circulation because of the high cost in making them as opposed to their exact worth.
