Did You Get Your Wheaties Today?

For more than 100 years, the Lincoln Cent has been a familiar coin. Designed by Victor David Brenner, it was originally issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's birth and was the first coin to depict the likeness of an actual person compared to all other previous coin series that depicted various renderings of Liberty. For the first 50 years of its run from 1909 to 1958, the coins were called "Wheat-Back Cents" for their distinctive wheat ears that appeared on the reverse. The wheat ears were replaced by the Lincoln Memorial beginning in 1959.

Wheaties From World War I Era

Most of these pennies have long since disappeared, but now you can acquire them in a 50-coin roll! These coins available here were struck between 1910 and 1919–a date range that encompasses the sinking of the Titanic and World War I. It was also a time during which less than 9.1% of all Wheat Cents were struck! In fact, of all the pennies struck by the U.S. Mint since 1909, only about 0.45% were struck between 1910 and 1919! That makes this 50-piece set of 1910–1919 Lincoln Wheat-Back cents the perfect gift for a burgeoning collector, and a great idea for a fun family evening. Gather everyone around the table, empty out your roll and enjoy seeing how many dates and mint marks you've managed to acquire. Dates vary, but each is more than 100 years old. Coins come in Good to Fine (G–F) with lots of nice detail.
