The Lincoln cent debuted in 1909 to honor the centennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth and represented a major shift in United States coinage. It was the first circulating U.S. coin to feature an actual historical figure, replacing the long-standing tradition of using symbolic images of Liberty. This 1925 Lincoln Penny from the Denver Mint features an RB designation, with warm amber-and-russet toning around a light-golden luster at the center of the coin. Right now, the 1925-D Lincoln Penny is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The 1925-D Lincoln cent stands out as a key semi-key date in the series, with a mintage of only 22,580,000 pieces from the Denver Mint. Its lower production numbers and the tendency for coins from this era to enter heavy circulation make well-preserved examples particularly desirable to collectors, commanding significant premiums over common dates.
This 1925-D Lincoln Penny comes in Mint State 64 condition, with attractive eye appeal and several small contact marks. The coin may also feature one or two heavier marks. The RB designation stands for Red-Brown, and per PCGS standards, indicates the coin retains between 5% and 95% of its original reddish-orange copper color. Both sides of the coin have warm hues, subtle violet highlights, and smooth, satin-like fields.
The obverse of the 1925-D Lincoln Penny displays a portrait of President Abraham Lincoln. Designed by Victor David Brenner, the obverse presents a right-facing profile of Lincoln inspired by an 1864 photograph taken by Matthew Brady. Brenner’s design carefully reflects Lincoln’s recognizable features, presenting them with balance, realism, and quiet dignity.
On the reverse of the 1925-D Lincoln Penny is the original Wheat Cent design associated with the early years of the series. This reverse features two wheat ears framing the inscriptions “ONE CENT” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” The wheat imagery reflects the nation’s agricultural foundation and led to the coin’s familiar nickname, the “Wheat Penny.” Brenner’s reverse remained in use from 1909 to 1958, making it one of the longest-running designs in American coin history and a lasting favorite among collectors.
