The coin in question is a 1954 Lincoln Cent featuring the Wheat Reverse design, minted in Philadelphia (denoted by the "P" mint mark). Struck from bronze, this one-cent piece has a diameter of 19 millimeters and a standard weight of 3.11 grams. The 1954 Lincoln Cent is part of a historic series celebrated for its imagery of President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and two wheat ears on the reverse, symbolizing prosperity and agriculture. With a total mintage of 71,873,350 coins for that year, this cent represents a common issue within the Lincoln Wheat series. As a currency, it is valued at one cent (0.01 USD). While this specific coin may not carry significant premium value in lower grades due to its relatively high mintage, well-preserved examples in higher grades can be sought after by collectors. The coin captures a fascinating chapter in American numismatics, reflective of mid-20th century design and production techniques.
