This coin is a 1969 Lincoln Cent, featuring the iconic Wheat Reverse design. Minted in Denver, this specific piece carries no mint mark, which indicates it was produced without additional distinguishing marks. The coin has a diameter of 19 mm and weighs approximately 3.11 grams, composed of 95% copper and 5% zinc, reflective of the standard composition for Lincoln Cents during that era. Designed by Victor David Brenner and later modified by Frank Gasparro, this coin displays the famous portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the two wheat stalks that symbolize agriculture on the reverse. The edge of the coin is plain, and it is classified as a standard Mint Strike production type. With a massive mintage of 4,002,832,200 coins, the 1969 Lincoln Cent is widely available and recognized among collectors. Despite its high mintage, the condition and any unique features can significantly impact its value. However, in general, this coin holds face value of 1 cent (USD), but in uncirculated or well-preserved conditions, it can command a modest premium in the collector's market.
