This listing is for one 1940 Wheat Penny, as pictured. P,D,S, Choose by Mint Mark.
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). 1941 was the earlier part of WWII, and the mint would soon need to switch to steel for the production of US cents to support the war effort.
This wheat penny turns 81 years old this year (2021). Would make a cool gift for someone's 81st birthday.
A semi-key date, this coin makes an excellent addition to any collection; a piece of history. As can be seen in the pictures, the coin is in great shape. XF Grade.
San Francisco and Delaware Mints are also available; please feel free to message with any requests.
