RARE 1941 Lincoln No Mint Mark Wheat Penny One Cent Coin

RARE 1941 Lincoln No Mint Mark Wheat Penny One Cent Coin When the Lincoln penny made its appearance in 1909, it was the first American coin to show the portrait of a historical person. A few coins, such as the Indian Head penny and the Buffalo nickel, had portrayed anonymous Native Americans. Americans, however, had always opposed using coins to honor historical figures. The strong desire to celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s 100th birthday overcame this sentiment.
