Enhance your collection with a trio of America's most recognizable coins! Explore cents over three centuries with the Indian Head Cent (1859-1909), 1943 Steel Lincoln Cent, and modern Shield Cent (2010-present). Even over 150 years later, the Indian Head Penny is one of the most treasured of all US coins. The Lincoln Cent series replaced the Indian Head Cent in 1909, and in 1943 it was made out of steel for one year only due to wartime rationing. In 2010, the Lincoln cent series saw its second design change as the Shield reverse replaced the Lincoln Memorial reverse. This was the first design change on the penny since 1959! The 13 vertical stripes on the shield represent the 13 original colonies that joined to form the United States of America.
This trio of impeccable pennies is the perfect way to examine how the Penny has evolved over time in American numismatics. Each coin is in collector's quality circulated condition, and are housed in a custom folder with a certificate of authenticity. Bring this affordable set of the most popular American coins to your collection today!
