  • Description:

    The 1936 Lincoln Cent is a numismatic marvel, steeped in history and a symbol of American coinage's rich legacy. This coin, emanating from the early 20th century, is not just a piece of currency, but a fragment of American history, capturing a period of transformation and progress. Introduced in 1909, the Lincoln Cent was a groundbreaking addition to American numismatics. It was among the first U.S. coins to feature the portrait of a historical figure, President Abraham Lincoln, marking a departure from the traditional use of allegorical figures. The inclusion of Lincoln, designed by Victor David Brenner, was in honor of the centennial of his birth.

    The obverse of the coin proudly displays a detailed and dignified portrait of Lincoln, symbolizing honesty and integrity. Surrounding this portrait are the inscriptions “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “LIBERTY,” and the year of minting, in this case, 1936. The reverse of the coin, up until 1958, showcased the 'Wheat Ears' design, featuring two wheat stalks encircling the words “ONE CENT,” “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” and the Latin motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” This design, emblematic of America's agricultural heritage, was reflective of the country's prosperity and growth.

    The mintage, of the 1936 Lincoln Cent, was significant, as pennies were an essential part of the currency in circulation during this period. The 1936 Lincoln Cent in Uncirculated condition, therefore, represents a remarkable state of preservation, indicating it has seen very limited circulation.
