1921 Lincoln Wheat Cent - 105 Yr Old - Philadelphia - BN4037 For Sale

1921 Philadelphia — 39,157,000 made — small mintage for Philadelphia, start of the big post-war cutback.

1921 was the year the country slid into a sharp recession — factories slowed, cents were cut back hard. Philadelphia in 1921 made less than a tenth of what it made in 1919. That's why 1921-P is a tougher hole than most Philly wheats.

Look close — IN GOD WE TRUST across the top, LIBERTY on the left, date 1921 clear lower right, Lincoln with beard and bowtie still showing, coat lines visible. Reverse — ONE CENT bold center, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and E PLURIBUS UNUM around the rim, two wheat stalks with detail still showing, full rim. Warm brown, original surfaces, no cleaning — just honest pocket wear from 105 years ago.

Perfect for a 1920s set where you want the low-mintage year that actually gets skipped.

Please look over the photos closely — what you see is what you'll get.

Thanks so much for looking!
