This listing is for one 1916-S Wheat Penny, as pictured. "S" Mint mark, denoting the San Francisco Mint. XF (Extremely Fine) Grade / Condition.

The Lincoln cent has been struck by the United States Mint since 1909. The obverse or heads side was designed by Victor David Brenner, as was the original reverse, depicting two stalks of wheat (thus "wheat pennies", struck 1909–1958).

In 1917, a year which saw Barber's death in office at age 77, the wartime economy caused a shortage of cents. At this time, the Lincoln cent had not yet become dominant in circulation; four-fifths of the cents in circulation were of the older Indian Head design. Demand for the cent continued to increase when a luxury tax was instituted, and cents were needed to make change. In 1918, Brenner's initials were restored to the coin, appearing where Lincoln's shoulder is cut off by the rim of the coin.

1916, A semi-key date, this coin makes an excellent addition to any collection and is truly a piece of history. As can be seen in the pictures, the coin is in great shape. This particular pictured coin is graded as F (Fine), which is a better grade for this date.
