The 1939 Lincoln Wheat Cent, minted in Philadelphia, is part of a series produced from 1909 to 1958, featuring the iconic design of President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and a wheat sheaf on the reverse. These coins are composed of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. The 1939 issue is relatively common in higher grades, but certain mint errors or variations can increase its value among collectors. Its significance lies in its historical context as part of the transition period before the introduction of the Lincoln Memorial reverse design in 1959.
