The 1909 Lincoln Wheat Cent is a significant collectible coin in the United States, marking the first year of the Lincoln Cent series. This coin features a portrait of President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and two wheat heads on the reverse, symbolizing prosperity and abundance. Initially minted in both Philadelphia and San Francisco, the 1909-S version is particularly sought after due to its lower mintage. Collectors often seek high-grade specimens, and the coin holds historical value as it was the first to prominently feature Lincoln, reflecting a shift in American numismatics.
