The 1944 San Francisco 1-cent coin, commonly known as the Lincoln penny, is part of the United States Mint’s production during World War II. Coins produced at the San Francisco Mint are identified by the "S" mintmark. Collectors often seek out this particular year and mintmark for its historical significance and varying conditions. The 1944 Lincoln cents were made primarily of copper, with some later in the war being produced in zinc-coated steel due to metal shortages. Uncirculated or high-grade examples are particularly valued among collectors.
