What was the first year they made wheat back pennies?

Answer 1

Wheat Ears Cent - The Wheat Ears Penny, also known as a feather back or wheat back penny replaced the Indian Head pennies in 1909, and continued until 1958. Wheat Pennies are always worth at least 4 cents if you can read the date; the copper bullion value in them alone is worth well over 3 cents a coin now.

Answer 2

As someone here already wrote, they were minted from 1909-1958. The cent has been minted every year since 1793 except for 1815. The lowly cent has a good track record and has had different designs and weights. The Lincoln cent by Victor D. Brenner was to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's birth. Instead of a one year thing, we still have it even though the reverse was change in 1958 and it is now copper coated zinc. In 2009 we will have another change, for that is 200 years since his birth.

Answer 3

1909
Wheat-back Lincoln cents were made between 1909 and 1958. They depict Abraham Lincoln on the front. The reverse design has Ears of wheat on each side, hence the nickname “wheatties”.

Answer 4

Possibly 1909. Well this is the earlierst year on the value table
