Description

The 1914 Lincoln Wheat Cent is part of the Lincoln Wheat Cents 1909-1958 series. The U.S. Mint produced 75.2 million examples, making this the highest mintage among 3 variants, accounting for 93% of the year's production. The obverse features Abraham Lincoln facing right, the first real person depicted on a U.S. circulating coin and the reverse displays two wheat stalks framing ONE CENT, symbolizing American agriculture. The 1914-D with a mintage of 1,193,000 is a key date — one of the most valuable Lincoln Wheat Cents. Estimated market value ranges from $1 to $100 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 95% copper, 5% tin and zinc, weighing 3.11 grams, 19 mm in diameter, with a plain edge. Cataloged as PCGS #2468.
