The 1948 Lincoln Wheat Cent, minted in Philadelphia, is part of the Lincoln series introduced in 1909, which features Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and a wheat motif on the reverse. This particular coin is composed of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc, with a diameter of 19 millimeters. While not particularly rare, its condition can significantly affect its value, with higher grades commanding premiums among collectors due to demand for early mid-20th century U.S. coinage.
