Key Facts & Value

Key Fact

Historical significanceThe Lincoln Penny, introduced in 1909, was the first coin to feature a real person, honoring President Abraham Lincoln on his 100th birthday. It marked a shift in American coinage, moving towards more personal and relatable designs.

Minting historyThe Denver Mint began operations in 1906 and has played a critical role in producing U.S. currency, especially during times of economic need, like the Great Depression.

Artistic designDesigned by Victor David Brenner, the obverse of the coin features Lincoln's profile, while the reverse displays two ears of wheat, symbolizing prosperity and abundance.

Value Fact

The value of a 1935 Lincoln Penny can vary significantly based on its condition, mint mark, and demand among collectors. Coins in higher grades, particularly those with the 'D' mint mark from Denver, can command a premium price in the marketplace. Historical significance and the coin's long-standing popularity among collectors also play vital roles in its valuation.

The rarity of specific mint marks and grades can elevate the value of a Lincoln Penny dramatically, making certain variations highly sought after by numismatists.
