Key Facts & Value

Key Fact

Historical significanceThe Lincoln penny was introduced in 1909 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's birth. This design is one of the most recognized coins in American numismatics.

Artist's legacyVictor David Brenner, the designer of the Lincoln penny, was a Lithuanian-American sculptor and engraver. His work has left a lasting impact on American coinage.

Wheat reverseThe reverse of the coin features two stalks of wheat, symbolizing prosperity and abundance, which was a common theme during the era of the Great Depression.

Value Fact

The value of the 1955 Lincoln penny varies significantly based on its condition and rarity. While many are common and worth only their face value, certain variations, such as the 1955 Doubled Die, can fetch substantial prices among collectors. Coins in uncirculated condition or with high grade certifications can see their values escalate dramatically due to collector demand and historical significance.

The scarcity of certain mint errors and the historical context surrounding the coin's design contribute significantly to its value in the collector's market.
