1958 represents the last year of the long-running wheat ears reverse motif that debuted with the Lincoln cent in 1909. Numbers of surviving examples are huge for this last-year type coin in grades ranging from low-end circulated up through MS66. In grades of MS67 and higher, the 1958 Lincoln cent is a remarkably tough coin with that ranks high on the want lists of registry set collectors.
