1927 Lincoln Wheat Cent Encased Reel Products Co. Cedar Rapids Iowa
The 1927 Lincoln Wheat Cent, encased by Reel Products Co. of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is a fascinating piece that combines numismatic history with regional significance. With a mintage of 193,000,000 at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin is not a key date within the Lincoln series but remains a popular collectible due to its unique encasement, which adds an intriguing layer of rarity. The design, created by Victor David Brenner, features the iconic Lincoln portrait on the obverse and the wheat ears reverse, symbolizing prosperity and agriculture during a time of economic growth in the 1920s. This particular example showcases excellent surface preservation, with a strong strike and vibrant luster that enhances its eye appeal. Encased coins like this one are often sought after by collectors for their novelty and connection to local history, making them a valuable addition to any Lincoln cent collection. As the market for encased coins continues to grow, this piece represents both a historical artifact and a unique opportunity for collectors to own a slice of American numismatic heritage.
