The 1943 Lincoln Cent with a Wheat Reverse is a notable collectible coin from the United States Mint, produced during World War II when copper was needed for the war effort. Instead of the traditional copper composition, these cents were minted in zinc-coated steel, resulting in a distinct silver-colored appearance. The 1943 Wheat Cent is particularly sought after by collectors, especially in uncirculated condition, and there are rare instances of 1943 cents struck in copper due to a minting error, significantly increasing their value.
