1943 Lincoln Wheat Penny - History, Design, and Collectibility #3590207 (License: Personal Use)

This image shows the obverse of the 1943 Lincoln wheat penny, notable for being made of zinc-coated steel instead of bronze due to wartime copper conservation. It displays Abraham Lincoln in left-facing profile, with “LIBERTY” inscribed along the left rim, the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” above his head, and the year “1943” at the lower right. The coin’s distinctive grayish appearance and magnetic properties set it apart from other Lincoln cents.
