The metal content is a copper alloy, specifically 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. Historically, this coin was designed by Victor David Brenner and features the iconic "Wheat Ears" reverse design used from 1909 to 1958. The strike type is a standard business strike intended for general circulation. While the coin is encased in an INB holder, a specific numerical grade is not provided on the label, which instead identifies the era as Early Lincoln Cent 1930-1939.
