    Somebody told me they don't exist but I have a couple. I don't think they are counterfeit. ?Can someone tell me the truth about my 1959 wheat pennies?

    Here's what I can remember about the 59 wheat cent. There was one and just one discovered in 1986. A coin counterfeiter that's in jail has said that he counterfeited the 1959 wheat cent and no clear evidence has been establish that it is genuine.

    My coin isn't a 1959. My mistake.

    in the Lincoln cent book, there is an article about a guy who thought he found a 59 with a wheat back. he was very excited, but the picture clearly showed it was a 58. i assume your coins were either earlier or not wheats?
