Key Facts & Value

Key Fact

Historical significanceThe Lincoln penny, first issued in 1909, commemorates the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. It has become a beloved symbol of American culture and coinage.

Artistic influenceDesigned by Victor David Brenner, the coin's obverse features a detailed portrait of Lincoln, while the reverse showcases two wheat ears, symbolizing abundance and prosperity.

Material evolutionOriginally struck in bronze, the composition changed over the years, with the 1945 penny made of copper, reflecting the post-war era's economic conditions.

Value Fact

The value of this 1945 Lincoln penny largely depends on its condition, rarity, and demand among collectors. While common in circulated condition, uncirculated coins or those with unique errors can fetch higher prices in the market.

Condition is paramount; a coin in pristine condition could be worth significantly more than its face value, especially among dedicated numismatists.
