Title:
Lincoln Wheat Cent
Description:
Obverse (front) of a United States Lincoln Wheat cent (”wheat penny”) showing Abraham Lincoln facing right. Visible legends include ”IN GOD WE TRUST” along the top rim and ”LIBERTY” at left. Date ”1940” is visible at the lower right. No packaging is shown and no barcode/UPC/EAN is visible in the image. This is the classic Victor David Brenner Lincoln cent design used on Wheat cents (reverse would have two wheat ears with ”ONE CENT” and ”UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”). Typical specs for 1940 Wheat cents: bronze composition (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc), plain edge, diameter about 19 mm, weight about 3.11 g. Mint mark (if any) is normally under the date on the obverse; it is not clearly visible in this photo, so the mint (Philadelphia no-mintmark vs. Denver D vs. San Francisco S) cannot be confirmed from the provided image alone.
