Condition: This coin is housed in a protective holder from the International Numismatic Bureau. The copper surfaces exhibit a dark brown patina consistent with circulated specimens of this era. The obverse shows visible wear on Lincoln's portrait, though the date 1944 and the S mint mark remain legible. The reverse displays the traditional wheat ears design with moderate wear on the high points of the stalks. The strike type is a standard business strike. This piece is composed of copper and represents a significant era in United States numismatics, following the 1943 steel cent production during World War II. The coin was struck at the San Francisco Mint, as indicated by the S mint mark. While the holder serves as a third-party grading slab, no specific numerical grade is visible on the label.
