The Lincoln penny is an iconic piece of US currency, and the version from 1920 is especially desirable for collectors. At first glance, you might mistake the 1920 Lincoln for a modern day coin, but upon closer inspection you will see there are subtle differences. It is these subtle differences and the age that makes the 1920 Lincoln penny a must-have for any collector.
The coin's obverse side is a lot like the modern penny in that it is dominated in the center by Abraham Lincoln's profile. There are raised inscriptions on either side of the former President. On his left, you will notice the word "Liberty," while the 1920 year of minting is off to his right. Arching across the top outer edge of the coin are the words "In God We Trust."
The reverse side of the coin does not have an image in the center, but rather two phrases. First, is the "One Cent" face value which is followed by an inscription reading "United States of America." Overtop, you will see the Latin phrase "E Pluribus Unum." On both the right and left outer edges of the reverse are two single stalks of wheat. This is why this penny is sometimes referred to as the "Wheat Penny."
