1912-D Lincoln Wheat Cent VG/F Condition

Add an early Denver Mint issue to your collection with this 1912-D Lincoln Wheat Cent in Very Good to Fine (VG/F) condition. Struck during the early years of the Lincoln Cent series, the 1912-D remains a desirable semi-scarce date thanks to its comparatively low mintage and popularity among collectors assembling Lincoln Wheat Cent sets.

Designed by Victor David Brenner and first introduced in 1909, the Lincoln Wheat Cent became the first regularly circulating United States coin to feature a real historical figure. More than a century later, these classic copper cents remain one of the most widely collected coin series in American numismatics.

Low Mintage Denver Mint Issue

The Denver Mint struck just 10,411,000 Lincoln Cents in 1912, making it one of the lower-mintage issues from the early years of the series. Coins from this period experienced heavy circulation, making collectible examples increasingly difficult to locate as grades improve.

The small "D" mintmark located beneath the date identifies this coin as a Denver Mint issue and distinguishes it from its Philadelphia counterpart.

VG/F Condition

These 1912-D Lincoln Wheat Cents are offered in Very Good to Fine (VG/F) condition. Coins in this grade range display moderate circulation wear while retaining clear major design elements, date, mintmark, and lettering.

The obverse features Abraham Lincoln's portrait, while the reverse displays the iconic wheat ears framing the denomination and country name. Collectors appreciate this grade range for providing affordable ownership of an increasingly sought-after early Lincoln Cent.

Historic Lincoln Wheat Cent Series

Produced from 1909 through 1958, Lincoln Wheat Cents are among the most collected United States coins. Early Denver Mint issues such as the 1912-D are especially popular because of their lower mintages and important place within the series.
