The 1943 Lincoln Cent with a Wheat Reverse, minted in Denver, is a notable collectible coin produced during World War II. Due to a copper shortage, these cents were struck in zinc-coated steel instead of the traditional bronze. The Denver mint mark (D) is found on the reverse side of the coin. This specific variant is sought after by numismatists, particularly for its unique composition and historical context.
