The 1956 one cent penny, also known as the Lincoln Wheat Cent, is a circulated coin made of 95% copper and 5% zinc. It was minted in both Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Denver (D mint mark). The obverse (front) features a profile of Abraham Lincoln, and the reverse (back) displays two wheat stalks, a design used from 1909 to 1958. Circulated 1956 pennies are generally worth a modest amount, but uncirculated or mint state examples can be worth more, especially if they have desirable characteristics like a strong strike or attractive surfaces
