Description: Are you ready to embark on a numismatic adventure spanning over a century of American history? This unopened and unsearched bank box holds the key to unlocking the fascinating world of Lincoln pennies. Inside this sealed Federal Reserve box, you'll find 50 OBW (original bank-wrapped) rolls of Lincoln Small Cents, each containing 50 pennies. That's a total of 2500 pennies, boasting a face value of $25! From the iconic Wheat Pennies (1909-1958) to the modern Shield Cents (2010-present), this box offers a diverse array of coins, each with its own story to tell. Mint marks include P (Philadelphia), D (Denver), and S (San Francisco). Dates, mint marks, and conditions of these Lincoln pennies will range from cherry-Red to Red Brown and Brown, with conditions from Good to BU, Choice BU, and even GEM. Wheat Penny (1909-1958): Featuring the revered bust of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and two wheat ears flanking the words "ONE CENT" on the reverse, these coins are a timeless symbol of American numismatics. Look out for variations in the placement of the designer's initials (V.D.B.) and minor alterations to the design elements. Steel Penny (1943): Minted during World War II to conserve copper for the war effort, these zinc-coated steel pennies have a distinctive silver-gray appearance and are magnetic due to their steel composition. Shellcase Penny (1944-1946): Crafted from spent shell casings during the post-war era, these rare coins are a testament to the resourcefulness of the time. Made of a brass alloy composed of 95% copper and 5% zinc, they offer a unique glimpse into American history. Post-War Wheat Penny (1947-1958): After World War II, Lincoln cents returned to their original composition of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. The design remained largely unchanged from the pre-war wheat pennies until the end of the series in 1958. Lincoln Memorial Penny (1959-2008): In 1959, the design of the Lincoln cent was updated to feature the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse, replacing the wheat ears. The obverse continued to feature Abraham Lincoln's bust, maintaining continuity with previous designs. Lincoln Bicentennial Cents (2009): To commemorate the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, the U.S. Mint issued four different designs on the reverse of the Lincoln cent. Each design represented a different aspect of Lincoln's life and legacy. Shield Penny (2010-present): Since 2010, the reverse of the Lincoln cent features a Union shield, symbolizing Lincoln's role in preserving the United States during the Civil War. The obverse continues to feature Abraham Lincoln's bust, maintaining continuity with previous designs.
