The 1971 Lincoln Cent is part of the United States Mint's ongoing production of one cent coins, featuring the iconic image of President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse. The Wheat Reverse cents, minted from 1909 to 1958, are distinct from later designs, showcasing wheat ears flanking the reverse side. While the 1971 cent does not feature the Wheat Reverse, it marks an important era in the history of U.S. coins, transitioning from earlier designs to more modern representations in subsequent years. Collectors often seek out both types for their historical significance and variations in minting.
