The 1944 Lincoln Wheat Reverse one-cent coin is part of the Lincoln penny series, which was first issued in 1909. The coin features the iconic portrait of President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and a wheat ears design on the reverse, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. The 1944 penny is particularly notable because it was minted during World War II, with a composition of 95% copper and 5% tin or zinc, representing a return to pre-war metal content after wartime substitutions. Collectors often seek this coin for its historical significance and connection to Lincoln, as well as its place within the broader context of U.S. numismatics.
