coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 1¢ (One Cent, Penny) \ Lincoln Cents - Wheat Reverse \ 1943 \ Denver
The 1943 Denver Lincoln Wheat Cent is a noteworthy collectible coin, as it was minted during World War II when copper was needed for war materials, resulting in the use of zinc-coated steel instead. The Denver Mint produced significantly fewer coins compared to other years, making it a desirable piece for collectors. The coin features Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the wheat stalks on the reverse, characteristic of the Wheat Cent design used from 1909 to 1958. Its rarity, combined with the historical context, contributes to its value among numismatists.
