Lincoln Wheat Ears Pennies Appraisal

Five Decades of Lincoln 'Wheat Ears' Pennies Coin Set

This item is a coin set presentation, specifically titled "Five Decades of LINCOLN 'Wheat Ears' Pennies." It consists of a clear plastic case housing a decorative insert and five Lincoln cents, each representing a different decade or specific type. The insert features a stylized image of Abraham Lincoln on the left, an outdoor landscape with trees and a monument (likely the Lincoln Memorial) on the right, and the title prominently displayed at the top. Below the title, there are five circular cutouts, each holding a coin. The coins are identified by text below them: "1909-1919 Lincoln Penny," "1920-1929 Lincoln Penny," "1930-1939 Lincoln Penny," "1943 Lincoln Steel Penny," and "1950-1958 Lincoln Penny." All pennies, with the exception of the 1943 Steel Penny which appears to be in relatively good condition with its distinctive silver-grey color, show varying degrees of brown and reddish-brown patina indicative of copper oxidation, suggesting their age and normal wear. Some details on the copper pennies may be obscured by the toning. The plastic case appears to be in good condition, protecting the coins and the printed insert. The overall presentation is designed for display and collection, aiming to provide a historical overview of the Lincoln Wheat Cent series. The craftsmanship is evident in the clear housing and neatly aligned coins within their designated slots, though the quality of the coins themselves would vary depending on their individual grade.
