Owner's Comments

Mintage. 586,810,000 Composition .950 Copper .050 Tin and Zinc Originally designed by artist Victor D. Brenner to commemorate the 100Th anniversary of Abraham Lincolns birth, the Lincoln Wheat reverse cent has become a collecting favorite. With many high mintage dates, putting together a complete set is not out of reach for many collectors. During 1940 the Second World War was already under way in Europe, but the United states would not enter into the war until the following year.

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
