A wheat penny is a one-cent coin that was produced by the United States Mint from 1909 to 1958. Its name comes from the design on the reverse side of the coin, which featured a sheave of wheat on each side and the phrases "ONE CENT" and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" in between. Across the top was the Latin phrase "E PLURIBUS UNUM," which means "out of many, one" and has been considered an unofficial motto of the U.S.
The obverse, or front, of the coin featured a likeness of former U.S. president Abraham Lincoln, the phrase "IN GOD WE TRUST," the word "LIBERTY" and the year in which the coin was produced. Also known as a Lincoln wheat cent or wheatback penny, the wheat penny is a long-admired collectible item with rich historical value.
The wheat penny continued to be produced through 1958, with a few changes. In 1918, the controversial initials were reinstated. This time, however, they were located on the front side of the coin, just below Lincoln’s shoulder. In 1959, 50 years after the wheat penny was first issued, the familiar sheaves of wheat on the reverse side were replaced by a depiction of the Lincoln Memorial, officially ending the wheat penny’s run. This change was made to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth.
