1956 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Coin INB Slab 1956 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Coin INB Slab This 1956 Lincoln Wheat Cent is a classic piece of American numismatic history, featuring the iconic wheat stalks on the reverse and Abraham Lincoln on the obverse. Struck in copper, this vintage penny is housed in a protective International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab, which ensures the preservation of its condition and provides a professional presentation. As part of the beloved series that ran from 1909 to 1958, this 1956 copper coin represents the final years of the wheat design. The slabbed holder provides a clear view of both the obverse and reverse, making it a great addition for collectors looking to secure a mid-century copper cent in a specialized holder. 1956 Lincoln Wheat Cent Copper Coin INB Slab Condition: This 1956 Lincoln Wheat Cent appears in a circulated state with a dark brown patina consistent with its copper composition. The coin features visible wear on the high points of Lincoln's portrait and the wheat stalks on the reverse, though the date and major design elements remain legible. It is housed in a slab from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB), which serves as a protective holder. This business-strike copper coin was minted at the Philadelphia Mint, as indicated by the absence of a mint mark. Historically, the 1956 Wheat Cent belongs to the final years of the iconic Victor David Brenner design before it was replaced by the Lincoln Memorial reverse in 1959. This piece represents a classic era of American numismatics, favored by collectors for its copper metal content and historical significance as a mid-century staple of United States currency.
