Additional Description: Two Whitman folders filled with Indian and Wheat Cents represent more than just decades of U.S. one-cent coinage—they trace a tangible, chronological story of American history, industry, and design evolution. The Indian Head cents, first issued in 1859 and continuing through 1909, reflect the nation’s rapid expansion, Civil War struggles, and industrial transformation, with James B. Longacre’s stylized Liberty in a Native American headdress symbolizing a young, idealized republic. The transition to the Wheat cent in 1909 marked Abraham Lincoln’s centennial and introduced the first real portrait on U.S. coinage, designed by Victor David Brenner, with its simple reverse of two wheat stalks emblematic of agricultural strength. 1922 seems to be a Weak D variety (in both books).
