The 1927 San Francisco One Cent Penny, also known as the Lincoln Cent, features the Wheat Reverse design, which was used from 1909 to 1958. This coin was minted at the San Francisco Mint and is made of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. The Wheat Cents are highly regarded by collectors due to their historical significance and the appeal of the Lincoln portrait designed by Victor David Brenner. The 1927-S is particularly sought after in higher grades due to its lower mintage compared to other years.
