How Much Money Is a 1947 Wheat Penny Worth?
The Wheat Penny was circulated from 1909 to 1958 and featured an image of Abraham Lincoln on the front and two shafts of wheat on the back. The Wheat Penny got its nickname from the shafts of wheat, which were replaced with an image of the Lincoln Memorial in 1959 to honor the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth. Wheat Pennies are highly collectible but most–including the 1947 issues–are not very valuable.
