The 1944 Lincoln Cent with a wheat reverse, minted in San Francisco, is part of the Lincoln penny series introduced in 1909. This specific coin features the image of President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the two wheat stalks on the reverse, symbolizing agriculture. The 1944-S variant is particularly notable due to its lower mintage compared to other years, making it a sought-after item among collectors. The coin is composed of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc, reflecting WWII-era metal usage restrictions. Collectors often seek this coin in higher grades due to its historical significance and collectibility.
