The 1972 Lincoln Cent, part of the U.S. one cent coin series, features the iconic image of President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse. However, coin collectors often focus on the variations, including the Wheat Reverse design issued from 1909 to 1958, which showcases two wheat stalks and symbolizes the country's agricultural abundance. The 1972 Lincoln Cent is primarily made of copper-plated zinc and is notable for its collectible status due to varying mintages and conditions affecting its value in numismatics.
