The US Mint introduced collectible proofs in the 1930s, creating a niche for coin collectors in the process. Among the early examples of this meticulous craftsmanship is the 1937 Proof Lincoln Penny. Only 9,320 Proof Lincoln Pennies were produced in 1937, with graded examples highly coveted by collectors today. These 1937 coins are exceptionally scarce, with only 21 examples of 1937 Proof Lincoln Pennies graded PR66+ with the RD designation. Right now, the 1937 Proof Lincoln Penny Coin with a rich, red color is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1937 Proof Lincoln Penny is available in a plastic slab with a PR66+ designation from the Professional Coin Grading Service. These coins are prized for their sharp strike and the RD designation, an indication of the deep red color in the copper of the coin. Additionally, PR66+ coins are among the best examples of a 66 grade, with a few small contact marks and no hairlines visible to the naked eye.
Victor David Brenner’s design for the US penny, introduced in 1909 to commemorate the centennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, marked a revolutionary departure from previous American coinage. The Lincoln Wheat Cent, or Lincoln Penny, was the first coin in American history to not only feature a real person and not an allegorical figure, but it was also the first to feature an American President.
The obverse of 1937 Proof Lincoln Pennies comes with Brenner’s bust of President Lincoln. His 1909 design shows the distinctive silhouette of President Abraham Lincoln in right-profile relief, with his physical features and beard expertly captured.
On the reverse of the 1937 Proof Lincoln Penny, Brenner’s design is simplistic in nature. It showcases the face value and nation of issue at the center of the field with wheat stalks flanking on either side. The phrase E PLURIBUS UNUM is found at the top.
