About this product

Wheat Cents | Common Date | 500-Count Bag

The Wheat Cent, often called the Lincoln Wheat Penny, remains one of the most recognizable pieces of American coinage. This 500-count bag contains circulated, common-date Wheat Cents typically ranging from the 1920s through the 1950s. Each coin features the profile of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the classic two wheat ears on the reverse surrounding “One Cent” and “United States of America.”

Ideal for collectors, hobbyists, and educators alike, these coins offer a tangible link to early 20th-century U.S. history. Every bag provides a diverse mix of dates and conditions, allowing collectors to explore variations, mint marks, and subtle differences in design while preserving the legacy of America’s longest-running coin series.
