Lincoln Wheat Cents, Lot of 10 — 1940s S-Mint & D-Mint

A solid little group of Lincoln Wheat cents pulled from old cardboard 2x2 holders — the kind a careful collector put away decades ago. Ten coins total, all from the early 1940s and one 1946-S, with a nice mix of San Francisco and Denver mint issues. The standout is the 1942-S in the pink holder, graded BU by a previous owner, and it shows — bright original red with sharp detail, a real gem in the bunch. The rest range from heavily circulated to moderately worn, with readable dates and mint marks throughout. Details: - Coins: 10 Lincoln Wheat cents - Dates & Mints: 1940-D, 1940-S, 1942-S (×7, including one BU), 1945-S, 1946-S - Denomination: One cent - Series: Lincoln Wheat cent (1909–1958) - Metal: Copper (95% Cu) - Holders: Cardboard 2x2 staple holders; one pink holder marked "BU" Most coins show moderate to heavy circulation wear; the 1942-S BU example is the clear exception with full luster and sharp devices. A nice starter or filler lot for a Wheat cent set. The Lincoln cent has been on the American penny since 1909 — the first U.S. coin to feature a real person — and the San Francisco Mint was cranking them out right through the heart of World War II.
