1919 Lincoln Wheat Cent – PCGS F12BN – Early Post-WWI Issue

Add a classic early 20th-century coin to your collection with this 1919 Lincoln Wheat Cent, certified F12BN by PCGS. Struck just after the end of World War I, this coin represents a period of transition and growth in the United States, making it a meaningful piece of American history.

The Lincoln Wheat Cent series, introduced in 1909, remains one of the most collected coin series in U.S. numismatics. Coins from the late 1910s saw heavy circulation, and many survivors show significant wear, making certified examples like this a solid addition for collectors.

Graded Fine 12 Brown (F12BN), this coin displays honest, even wear with all major design elements clearly visible. Lincoln’s portrait is well outlined, and the wheat ears on the reverse remain distinct. The brown (BN) designation reflects original circulated copper surfaces, which are preferred by collectors for their natural appearance.

With over a century of history and PCGS certification, this coin offers authenticity, affordability, and long-term collectible appeal—perfect for both new and seasoned collectors.
