1913 Lincoln Wheat Cent – Philadelphia Mint

Offered here is a 1913 Lincoln Wheat Cent, an early-date example from the classic Lincoln Wheat Cent series. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin carries no mint mark, as expected for Philadelphia issues of this period.

The obverse features Victor D. Brenner’s portrait of Abraham Lincoln, with IN GOD WE TRUST above, LIBERTY to the left, and the 1913 date to the right. The reverse displays the traditional wheat-ear design surrounding the denomination ONE CENT, with E PLURIBUS UNUM above.

This example shows honest circulation wear, with the major design elements, date, lettering, and wheat ears still readily identifiable. The surfaces display an attractive, naturally aged brown/copper coloration with marks and wear consistent with a circulated coin more than a century old.
