Common but collected

1958-D Wheat Penny Value

1958 was the final year of the “wheat ears” reverse before the Lincoln Memorial design arrived in 1959. The 1958-D (Denver) is very common, so most are worth a few cents — but high-grade red examples are collected as the end of an era.

Key facts

  • Last year of the wheat-back cent (1909–1958).
  • Composition: 95% copper. Extremely common in circulated grades.
  • Premiums apply mainly to high-grade, fully red (RD) uncirculated coins.
