Stunning 1944 Lincoln Wheat Penny - "Shell Case" Copper
Condition: Uncirculated (MS) | Color: Bright Red (RD)
Up for sale is a beautiful, high-grade example of a 1944 Lincoln Wheat Penny. This isn't just a standard penny—it’s a piece of WWII history. Due to the copper shortage during the war, these coins were struck using recycled brass ammunition shell casings salvaged from military firing ranges.
Key Features:
Historical Composition: Made from 95% copper and 5% zinc (recycled shell casings).
Eye Appeal: Gorgeous Bright Red luster. Unlike most circulated wheat cents that turn brown, this one has maintained its original mint brilliance.
Condition: Uncirculated with crisp details on Lincoln’s portrait and the wheat stalks.
Obverse: Abraham Lincoln.
Reverse: Classic Twin Wheat Ears.
Shipping & Care:
The coin will be shipped in a protective flip or capsule to ensure it maintains its red luster and stays scratch-free during transit.
Fast shipping with tracking included.
