The 1914-D Lincoln Wheat Penny, graded VF 25 by PCGS, is one of the most coveted key dates in the Lincoln Cent series and a true prize for serious numismatists. With its low mintage and limited surviving population in collectible condition, this coin stands as a cornerstone of early 20th-century American coinage—and a defining challenge for Lincoln Cent collectors.
Introduced in 1909 to commemorate the centennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, the Lincoln Wheat Penny was the first U.S. coin to feature a real historical figure. Designed by Victor David Brenner, the coin replaced the Indian Head cent and quickly became an American classic.
Minted in 1914 at the Denver Mint, identified by the distinguishing "D" mint mark.
Comes encased in an official PCGS holder
Obverse: Features a right-facing portrait of President Abraham Lincoln, a design that has become synonymous with American pennies. Inscriptions include “IN GOD WE TRUST” and the year of mintage, 1914.
Reverse: Displays the iconic wheat ears design encircling the inscriptions "ONE CENT" and "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", a symbolic representation of American agriculture and prosperity during the period of its issuance
The 1914-D issue, struck at the Denver Mint, is particularly rare. With a mintage of just 1,193,000 coins, it’s one of the lowest of the entire Wheat Cent run—and far fewer exist today in collectible grades due to heavy circulation during the era. Unlike many other Lincoln cents that were saved in rolls, the 1914-D saw widespread use, making surviving examples especially scarce in Very Fine (VF 25) and above. Its rarity, combined with the historical importance of the Lincoln Cent series, makes the 1914-D a must-have for collectors building a complete set or investing in key-date coins with enduring demand.
