The 1944 Lincoln Wheat Cent, minted in San Francisco, is part of the series of one-cent coins featuring President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the wheat ear design on the reverse. This coin is notable for its production during World War II when copper was in short supply, leading to some cents being minted from zinc-coated steel instead. The 1944-S variant has a lower mintage compared to other years, making it more collectible, especially in uncirculated condition. Collectors often seek out this coin for its historical significance and its role in the development of American currency during the 20th century.
