United States Lincoln Wheat Cent (1934)

This image shows a 1934 Lincoln Wheat Cent, a classic piece of American numismatic history. The coin is housed in a square cardboard and plastic coin flip, a standard storage method for collectors. The '1934' date and handwritten inventory numbers on the holder indicate its status as a vintage collectible.

The Lincoln Wheat Cent was originally designed by Victor David Brenner and was minted by the United States Mint between 1909 and 1958. These coins are made of a bronze alloy. The 1934 edition was produced primarily at the Philadelphia mint (no mint mark), as well as Denver (D mark) and San Francisco (S mark) mints.

As legal tender of the United States, the brand and production remain under the authority of the United States Department of the Treasury. The United States Mint, founded in 1792, is the sole manufacturer of legal tender coinage in the United States and remains a government entity.
