Released in 1909, the Lincoln cent was issued to commemorate the 100th birthday of Abraham Lincoln. The coin marked a significant milestone in U.S. minting history, becoming the first circulating coin to feature a real person instead of a symbolic representation of Liberty. This beautiful 1958 Lincoln Penny has a Mint State 67 certification with the coveted RD designation for historic copper pennies. Right now, the 1958 Lincoln Penny is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1958 Lincoln Penny is in Mint State 67 condition, with only three or four minuscule marks and one noticeable mark. Hairlines are not visible without the aid of magnification. As an RD specimen, this copper penny retains at least 95% of its original copper color. Overall, this coin has full, red color and satin surfaces. The bright red-orange copper is even and lively across both sides, with a strong design strike and clear legends.
The 1958 Lincoln cent holds special significance as the final year of the beloved wheat ears reverse design, making it a transitional piece before the 1959 introduction of the Lincoln Memorial reverse. Collectors often seek high-grade examples of this date to represent the end of the wheat penny era, which had spanned nearly five decades.
The obverse of the 1958 Lincoln Penny depicts President Abraham Lincoln in a right-facing profile. Designed by Victor David Brenner, the portrait was modeled after an 1864 photograph by Matthew Brady. Brenner’s design presents Lincoln’s facial features with clarity and restraint, reflecting the president’s recognizable appearance and character.
The reverse of the 1958 Lincoln Penny displays the original Wheat Cent design. Two wheat ears border the inscriptions “ONE CENT” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” representing agricultural prosperity and growth. This design led to the widespread use of the term “Wheat Penny.” Brenner’s reverse remained unchanged from 1909 through 1958, making it one of the longest-used reverse designs in American coinage.
