Wheat penny collectors often get used to seeing cents that lack many of their room, partly because the more often we see coins that have been consumed in circulation. Often, the Mint coin moulds used are too long, too, so that even a brand-new cent wheat might look a bit mushy. However, the currency shown here obviously was affected by the brand-new dies. Is the most known Penny of wheat in the entire series of Lincoln wheat cents, classified Red PCGS MS-69. The currency is part of the legendary PCGS log collection "collection of copper red", formed by copper collector Stewart Blay. I was so excited when I saw the incredible detail of this exemplary that I wanted to share with everyone. Enjoy this opportunity to see the Lincoln cent how designer of coin, Victor David Brenner, certainly imagined his project to look like!

PCGS was unable to provide me with the reverse of this coin wonderful, but a friend I points to a website where many of the coins of the collection of copper red appear in a gallery of photos online. The site owner, Paul Houck, kindly lent me his image to the contrary, even if it is a bit smaller in size more straight, above. When you're done salivating, be sure to check out more of this collection, as well as certain other currencies surprising to www.coingallery.org.
