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).

This wheat penny turns 71 years old this year (2021). Could make a cool gift for someone's 71st birthday.

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.
