The building on the back of a US penny is the Lincoln Memorial.
The middle of the penny weighs the most.
If you find a penny on the heads side it is good luck if you find a penny on the tails side and pick it up it is bad luck
The current US penny coin features the Union Shield Crest on the back side of the coin. A banner with the words one cent goes over the shield.
the most valuable is the penny in the us has a head on the front and back hope this helped :) :) :) :) :)
One side of the penny pictures the Lincon Memorial in Washington D.C. The other side (the side with the person on it) pictures Abraham Lincoln. The penny is pretty much a tribute to Abraham Lincoln
"Staw Penny" refers to an old US penny with wheat on the back, which was the design through the 1950s. Current pennies have the Lincoln Memorial on the back.
by flipping over the penny and looking at the back. if its a wheat penny its got designs on each side of the writing which is different than a regular penny

Side-facing bust of Abraham Lincoln on the "heads" side, and Lincoln Memorial on the "tails" side.
