The original Lincoln Penny, first issued in 1909 with the famous Wheat Penny reverse, was a popular series of circulation copper coinage. This 1939 Proof Lincoln Penny was struck by the Philadelphia Mint and displays a strong copper glow with proof visuals that include deep, mirror-like fields. Right now, 1939 Proof Lincoln Penny Coins are available from JM Bullion with an RD designation.
Coin Highlights:
This 1939 Proof Lincoln Penny comes with a protective plastic slab and an impressive PF67 + grade, indicating it is among the highest quality coins at the PF67 grade level. PF67 coins traditionally have only slight distracting marks or imperfections. This particular 1939 Proof Lincoln Penny is one of just 13 from its mintage to earn the PF67+ grade and the Red Designation, with only 1 coin from 1939 earning a higher grade.
The Wheat Penny design in the Lincoln Penny Series was the first design combination used on this one-cent coin. Designed by Victor David Brenner, the Wheat Penny reverse was featured on the US Penny until 1958 before being replaced by the Lincoln Memorial.
In the obverse of 1939 Proof Lincoln Penny Coins, you will find a right-profile bust of President Abraham Lincoln. The introduction of this portrait in 1909 made President Abraham Lincoln the first former American President to feature on the nation’s currency.
For the reverse of 1939 Proof Lincoln Pennies, you will find the Wheat Penny design. This simple image includes the engravings of E PLURIBUS UNUM, ONE CENT, and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, with the latter two phrases flanked by large wheat stalks.
