CARD BACK PANEL COPY Facts About Your Lucky Lincoln Birth Year Wheat Penny Lincoln Wheat Pennies were minted from 1909 to 1958 and are among the longest-running United States coin series in history. Much of the country admired President Lincoln and President Roosevelt wanted to honor Lincoln. Roosevelt selected the bronze plaque sculpture of Lincoln by Victor David Brenner to become the new image on the United States one-cent coin. This image of Lincoln replaced the Indian Head and became the first United States coin utilizing a real person’s image. Brenner designed the coin’s reverse with wheat stalks on either side of the words “ONE CENT.” As a result of this redesign, the public began referring to the pennies as “Wheaties”. Before the first minting of the new penny, Brenner decided to put his initials, VDB, on the back of the coin. As he was not authorized to do so, the initials were removed midway through production. This change created the rarest coin in the Lincoln penny series, a 1909 S VDB. From 1909 to 1981, most Lincoln Pennies were made of copper. However, the 1943 penny was made from zinc-coated steel. World War II put a huge strain on America’s resources, causing the 1944, 1945, and 1946 pennies to be made of shell casings. The Lincoln wheat penny turned 50 in 1959, so the U.S. Mint redesigned the coin in honor of what would have been President Lincoln’s 150th birthday. Frank Gasparro's new design replaced the wheat stalks with the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. The odds of finding a wheat penny in circulation today are about 1:200. May your birth year penny bring you good luck for this birthday and every birthday to come!
