1939-S Lincoln Wheat Copper Cent ICG MS62 BN 1939-S Lincoln Wheat Copper Cent ICG MS62 BN This 1939-S Lincoln Wheat copper cent is professionally graded by ICG as MS62 BN. Minted at the San Francisco Mint, this uncirculated specimen features the classic Wheat Ears reverse design and the iconic profile of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse. As a copper coin, it carries the "Brown" (BN) color designation, indicating it has developed a natural, even patina over time while maintaining its Mint State details. The coin is securely housed in an ICG slab, ensuring its grade and preservation for any serious numismatic collection. This vintage copper cent represents a significant piece of American history from the pre-World War II era. 1939-S Lincoln Wheat Penny Copper Cent ICG MS62 BN Condition: This specimen is graded by ICG as MS62 BN, indicating a Mint State business strike with a Brown color designation. The coin shows no signs of wear, though it possesses the typical bag marks or abrasions associated with a lower uncirculated grade. It was struck at the San Francisco Mint and is composed of copper. Historically, this 1939-S issue comes from the final years of the pre-World War II era, featuring Victor David Brenner’s classic Lincoln portrait on the obverse and the wheat ears design on the reverse. The BN designation confirms the copper has oxidized to a natural, dark chocolate-brown patina over time. 1939-S, Lincoln Cent, Wheat Penny, ICG, MS62 BN, Graded Coin, Numismatics, San Francisco Mint, Coin Slab, One Cent, Copper Coin, Vintage, US Currency, Coin Collecting, Brown Finish 1939-S Lincoln Wheat Penny, MS62 BN, ICG Graded Coin, San Francisco Mint, Numismatic Collectible, Rare Copper Cent, Wheat Ear Penny, Slabbed Coin, US Coin Collecting, Brown Uncirculated Penny IMPORTANT BIDDER NOTICE Bidder is solely responsible for determining value, condition, completeness, authenticity, fitment, grade, and usefulness before bidding.
