The Lincoln Wheat Reverse cent, commonly known as the wheat penny, was produced by the United States Mint from 1909 to 1958. The 1940 Lincoln cent, minted in Philadelphia, features a design by Victor David Brenner, showcasing a portrait of President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and two wheat stalks on the reverse. These coins are composed of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc, and while not particularly rare, they hold appeal for collectors, especially in higher grades or with unique varieties.
