Made with authentic vintage copper wheat pennies. These lucky penny earrings make a fantastic gift for a woman or man. The vintage lucky penny hangs from simple antiqued style brass ear-wires. Each earring measures approx. 2 inches long. The wheat penny is one of the most famous coins to ever be made in the United States. The coin was designed by Victor David Brenner in honor of Lincoln's 100th birthday in 1909. The coin had a long run from 1909 through 1958. Please note, these coins are old and were in circulation so there will be some wear as is typical for vintage pieces. A wonderful bit of history bearing the scars of time. See a penny, pick it up, all the day you'll have good luck!
