1942 Lincoln (Wheat) Penny

The Lincoln penny is still being produced today, and is still one of the most recognizable pieces of US coinage. Having said that, collectors are really only interested in older versions of the coin, like the 1942 Lincoln. These pennies are collectible not only because of their age and historical significance, but because they are rare and growing rarer by the day. The coin’s obverse features in the center the profile of former President Abraham Lincoln. Joining the image of the former President is an inscription to his left which reads “Liberty” as well as an inscription to his right which marks the 1942 year of minting. Finally, the phrase “In God We Trust” is seen arching overtop. On the coin’s reverse, the central aspect is dominated by two inscriptions—one that reads “United States of America” and one that reads “One Cent,” the coin’s face value. To the left and right of the central inscriptions are two single stalks of wheat, which helps explain why this coin is sometimes referred to as the “Wheat Penny.” Finally, the Latin phrase “E Pluribus Unum” is arching overtop.
