The 1948 Lincoln cent is a notable collectible coin from the United States, produced in copper prior to the introduction of the memorial reverse design in 1959. The coin features a profile of President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and two wheat stalks on the reverse, which is characteristic of the wheat cent series. Minting variations include coins produced at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mints, with varying levels of rarity and demand among collectors. Rolls of 1948 cents typically contain 50 coins, and their condition, such as the presence of wear or mint marks, significantly influences their value in the collectible market.
