1914 Denver Lincoln Wheat Cent XF40 PCGS

The 1914-D Lincoln Wheat Cent, graded XF40 by PCGS, is a charming example of early 20th-century American coinage struck at the Denver Mint. Designed by Victor D. Brenner, the obverse bears a dignified profile of President Abraham Lincoln, his hair and facial details still discernible despite light wear. The reverse features two stylized wheat ears flanking the denomination “ONE CENT,” with the “D” mint mark nestled beneath the date on the obverse, marking its Denver origin.

1914 D Lincoln Wheat Cent XF40 PCGS

In XF40 condition, this cent shows moderate wear on the high points—Lincoln’s cheek and jawline, the wheat ear tips—while maintaining strong overall detail and a pleasing, even brown patina. As a lower-mintage Denver issue in the Wheat Cent series, the 1914-D holds particular appeal for collectors seeking key-date circulation strikes with historic character. Its blend of moderate preservation, clear mint mark, and classic design make it an accessible yet meaningful addition to any Lincoln cent or early U.S. small-cent collection.
