The 1945 Lincoln cents are small
coins from the Wheat penny series minted in three US Mints. This series appeared in 1909 after Victor D. Brenner's design. The goal was to celebrate the 100th birthday of the 16th American President, Abraham Lincoln
The US Mint continued minting these coins until 1959 when the reverse was
changed in honor to the 150th birthday of this respectful man. The obverse stayed the same in memory of the first American coin depictinga real person.
Since Americans adored the
President who abolished slavery and united the young nation into one
country, they barely waited for the new coin. It was recorded that people waited in line for hours to get their pennies, making this first set a hit.
