coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 1c \ Lincoln Cents - Wheat Reverse \ 1946
The 1946 Lincoln Cent features the familiar obverse design of Abraham Lincoln, while the reverse displays the smooth-faced design introduced after the Wheat Reverse was discontinued. This year marks a transition in the Lincoln Cent series, as the Wheat Reverse was last minted in 1958. The 1946 Lincoln Cent is made of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. It is a common date, making it relatively accessible for collectors, but it can still be found in various grades, influencing its market value.
