The Lincoln penny is one of the longest-standing American coins in that it has been circulated in one form or another for what seems like forever. Though the coin has had its design altered to some extent over the years, it is not much different now than it was back in 1926. The difference between the modern penny and those from 1926, however, is the fact that the latter of the two are much more valuable and sought after.
On the 1926 Lincoln penny's obverse side, you will see the raised profile of Abraham Lincoln; depicted in stunning detail. On either side of the former President will be inscriptions that read "Liberty" and 1926commemorating the year in which the coin was minted. Finally, the words "In God We Trust" will be arching overtop.
On the reverse side, the central aspect is dominated by raised inscriptions which read "One Cent" and "United States of America" respectively. On the left and right hand sides of the reverse will be two single wheat stalks, which explains how the penny got the nickname of the "Wheat Penny." Finally, the Latin phrase "E Puribus Unum" is arching overtop.
