1859–2025 Three Centuries of Cents 3-pc Set

Three Centuries Of The Humble Penny

For many people, the very first coins they started to build their collection with were Lincoln Pennies, eagerly searching through pocket change and piggy banks for that scarce 1909 VDB Cent. Sadly, due to costs associated with manufacturing the penny, the Treasury Department placed its final order for penny blanks in May 2025, and the U.S. Mint will stop producing new pennies when that final supply runs out sometime in early 2026, bringing to an end the long and storied run of America’s smallest coin.

Pennies From The 1800s, 1900s & 2000s

Here you can secure representative pennies from three different centuries—the Indian Head Cent from the 1800s, the Lincoln Wheat Back Cent from the 1900s, and the Lincoln Shield Cent from the 2000s. These are designs that encompass more than 165 years of penny designs staring with James Barton Longacre’s design of the Indian head Cent that circulated from 1859 until it was replaced by the Wheat Back Cent designed by Victor David Brenner in honor of President Lincoln’s 100th birthday. The portrait of Lincoln on the penny continued into the 21st century with the only changes were a Lincoln Memorial reverse starting in 1959 that was replaced by a Shield design in 2010.
