- 1955 Lincoln (Wheat) Penny The Lincoln penny is one of the most recognizable American coins due to its imagery and prevalence in daily life. No matter who you are or where you are from, the penny is something you are likely more than familiar with.
- Curious about 1955 D penny with misprint in LIBERTY. I have had this coin stored with other wheat pennies for about the past 30 years. I was wondering if anyone.
From the original estimate of 20,000 to 24,000 coins released into circulation, experts believe that many of them got lost in circulation and only 10,000 to 15,000 coins survive today. It is occasionally reported that somebody finds a 1955 doubled die Lincoln penny while searching a roll of wheat pennies. Bingo bash chips.

The 1955-D Wheat Penny is comprised of .950 (95%) copper and .050 (5%) tin and zinc with a diameter of 19mm and a mass of 3.1 grams. The Wheat Penny was desgined at the behest of President Theodore Roosevelt, who lamented the lack of artistic merit in U.S. Currency. Roosevelt originally chose sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, a noted sculptor, to design what became the Wheat Penny. However, when Saint-Gaudens passed away, the job fell to Victor David Brenner. Roosevelt felt that the new cent should honor his fellow Republican Abraham Lincoln because of the impending 100th Anniversary of Lincoln's birth, which came in 1909.
Both the obverse and the reverse of the Wheat Penny were designed by Victor David Brenner, who featured a profile of Lincoln on the obverse along with the word 'Liberty' and the motto 'In God We Trust'. The reverse of the features two ears of durum wheat, which give the coin its common name, as well as the Latin phrase 'E Pluribus Unum,' which means 'out of many, one.' The inclusion of Brenner's initials on the reverse of the coin also caused significant controversy upon the release of the Wheat Penny. Due to a public outcry, stoked by a bit of yellow journalism, the initials were removed from the coin until 1918, when they were placed on Lincoln's shoulder next to the rim.
