The 1941 Lincoln penny might remind you of the modern Lincoln penny because the two coins' designs are quite similar. While that is so, the coin from 1941 is far more valuable thanks to its desirability in the eyes of collectors. As time moves on, these coins will only increase in value in conjunction with their ever-rising scarcity.
On the obverse of the 1941 Lincoln penny you will see the profile image of Abraham Lincoln, depicted in incredible detail. Immediately to the left of Lincoln's image is a raised inscription which reads "Liberty." To the right of Lincoln you will notice the raised marking of the 1941 year of minting. Rounding out the obverse side is an inscription arching overtop which reads "In God We Trust."
The coin's reverse side has two inscriptions in the center, rather than an image. First, there is a raised inscription which reads "United States of America." Directly above that inscription is another which marks the "One Cent" face value. To both the left and the right of the central inscriptions are two single stalks of wheat. The images of wheat are why this coin is often referred to as the "Wheat Penny." Finally, the Latin phrase "E Pluribus Unum" is arching overtop of the reverse side.
