United States 1919 One Cent USD Copper

Key Facts & Value

Key Fact

Historical significanceThe Lincoln penny was first minted in 1909 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. The design features a portrait of Lincoln on the obverse and two wheat ears on the reverse, symbolizing prosperity and agriculture.

Design EvolutionVictor David Brenner's design was so popular that it remained in circulation with minimal changes until 1959, when it was replaced by the Lincoln Memorial design.

Cultural ImpactThe penny has become a cultural icon in the United States, often associated with good luck and the phrase 'a penny saved is a penny earned.'

Value Fact

The value of a 1919 Lincoln penny can vary significantly based on its condition, rarity, and demand among collectors. While common examples in average condition may be worth only a few cents, higher-grade coins with minimal wear can command much higher prices, sometimes reaching into the hundreds of dollars.

Factors contributing to value include the coin's historical significance, condition, and the demand for Lincoln-themed collectibles, which can fluctuate based on market trends and collector interest.
