Description

As the video demonstrates, we struck two half-ounce .999 fine silver planchet with an authentic Lincoln Wheat-Back Cent in between.  The striking process is tricky, and there are marks and abrasions on both the obverse and reverse of these products.  We struck them at a tonnage that would allow the pieces to come apart so you could see the penny in the center that has been sandwiched, flattening it, and enlarging the diameter.

• Contains 1 oz. Troy of .999 Fine Silver ( 2 x 1/2 troy ounce planchet)
• Obverse: The obverse of the 1914 Lincoln cent, which features a right-facing bust of President Abraham Lincoln. The date 1914 appears to the right of Lincoln and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears above the president. Below the date is the mint mark “D” for the Denver Mint. To the left of the 16th president is the word LIBERTY.
• Middle: An authentic Lincoln Wheat-Back Cent
• Reverse: Brenner’s “Wheat Cent” reverse. Two sheaths of wheat wrap around the right and the left side of the coin. At the top of the design, the motto “E ·PLURIBUS · UNUM” wraps around the rim. ONE OUNCE is inscribed in large letters, sans serif, the bottom arm of the E extends beyond the arm at the top. The middle arm is recessed. Beneath, in the same font, but smaller type: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Hallmark along the lower circumference.
