Lincoln Wheat (1909-1958)

The Lincoln Cent debuted in 1909, replacing the fifty year old Indian Head Cent design. No other American coin design comes close to the 93 year life span of the Lincoln Cent. In just a few years from now, the design will celebrate its 100th anniversary. The Lincoln cent's 50th birthday, in 1959, also marked the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. The Mint observed it by giving the cent a new reverse depicting the Lincoln Memorial.
