1947-D Copper Wheat Penny ANGC MS64RD $2276 This 1947-D Lincoln Wheat Penny is a high-grade numismatic specimen professionally certified by ANGC as MS64RD, indicating a Choice Mint State condition with its original full red copper luster. Struck at the Denver Mint, this coin features the iconic Victor David Brenner design of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the classic wheat stalks on the reverse. The MS64RD designation confirms that the coin has been well-preserved for over seven decades, retaining its vibrant fiery-red color and sharp strike without the dulling effects of oxidation or heavy circulation. It is housed in a specialty purple protective slab featuring a unique bee-themed artistic label and a Heritage auction barcode, making it a distinctive addition for serious collectors of mid-century copper coinage. With a retail valuation of $2,276, this specific piece stands out not only for its technical grade and eye appeal but also for its presentation in a rare, decorative holder that adds significant aesthetic and collectible value beyond the coin itself. Condition: The coin is in Mint State 64 (MS64) condition, indicating it is an uncirculated specimen with a pleasing strike and minimal marks or abrasions for the grade. The Red (RD) designation signifies that the coin retains at least 95% of its original mint orange-copper brilliance. It was minted at the Denver Mint, as indicated by the D mint mark. The metal content consists of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc, which was the standard composition for Lincoln Cents during this era. Historically, this 1947-D penny was produced during the post-WWII economic boom, featuring Victor David Brenner's classic wheat ear reverse design used from 1909 to 1958. It is a business strike type intended for general circulation. The collector value for an MS64RD specimen is significant due to its preserved luster and high state of preservation, though it is a relatively common date in the series. The coin has been professionally graded and encapsulated by ANGC, ensuring its authenticity and grade accuracy.
