Wheat vs Oaks
Here’s the scoop on the differences between the Lincoln Wheat Penny and the Indian Head Penny:
The back of the Lincoln Wheat Penny, which started in 1909, has two awesome wheat stalks on either side. They surround the words “ONE CENT” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” These wheat stalks are all about showing how important farming is in America. They remind us of the country’s agricultural roots. The wheat stalks stand tall and proud, giving the penny a cool and simple look.
Now, let’s talk about the Indian Head Penny. This penny was made from 1859 to 1909, and it doesn’t have wheat stalks. Instead, it has a wreath made of oak leaves wrapped around the words “ONE CENT.” The oak wreath stands for strength and stability, which is different from the farming vibe of the wheat stalks. The oak wreath is super detailed and fancy, with little acorns mixed in among the leaves.
So, to sum it up, the Lincoln Wheat Penny has wheat stalks that celebrate farming, while the Indian Head Penny has an oak wreath that shows strength. Each penny tells its own unique story about America’s history!
