Picking up one super example of each type is so much fun. Keep up your standards, as you have with this coin, and you will have a TS to love.
Rest in Peace

I noticed that too - the coin almost looks like a Proof. For comparison, I took out the Lincoln Wheat cent of my type set and it's not quite as reflective. Same grade and color designation, but without the proof-like surfaces. I wonder if anything changed in the minting process between 1944 and 1959 that would have caused this difference.

1944-S Lincoln Wheat:
