DO NOT Spend This Wheat Penny!

Показать описание

Let’s explore the 1955 to 1959 Lincoln Wheat Pennies, a fascinating era for U.S. one‑cent coins:

- 1955 Lincoln Wheat Penny – Famous for its **1955 Doubled Die Obverse (DDO) error, one of the most sought‑after error coins in U.S. history. While regular 1955 pennies are common, the DDO variety can fetch thousands or even hundreds of thousands in high grades!
- 1956 Lincoln Wheat Penny – A widely circulated wheat cent with a Denver‑minted variety (1956-D); although common, high‑grade examples or mint errors can be valuable.
- 1957 Lincoln Wheat Penny – A later wheat cent that is still easy to find, but pristine uncirculated or error coins, such as doubled dies, can be desirable for collectors.
- 1958 Lincoln Wheat Penny – The final year of the wheat penny series before the Lincoln Memorial design was introduced in 1959; while standard versions are common, proof and ultra‑high‑grade specimens hold collector value.
- 1959 Lincoln Memorial Penny – The first year of the Lincoln Memorial reverse design, replacing the wheat ears. While most are common, rare errors like the **1959-D “wheat reverse” mule error** (if authentic) can be extremely valuable.

Among these, the **1955 Doubled Die** stands out as the most valuable, with rare high-grade specimens reaching well into the six-figure range at auction. For the rest, uncirculated or error varieties remain highly collectible!
