The Wheat Reverse design, used from 1909 to 1958, features two wheat stalks on the reverse side, symbolizing abundance. The 1946 Lincoln Cent struck at the San Francisco Mint (designated by the 'S' mintmark) is a collectible item sought after by numismatists, particularly in higher grades due to its limited availability and historical significance.
