The 1942 Lincoln Wheat Cent from the San Francisco Mint is part of the larger Lincoln Cent series, which was first issued in 1909. The Wheat Reverse design features two wheat stalks flanking the words "One Cent," and was produced from 1909 to 1958. The 1942 issue, specifically from the San Francisco Mint, is known for its lower mintage compared to other years, making it more desirable among collectors. Coins from this era are typically sought after in higher grades due to their historical significance and numismatic value.
