Lincoln Memorial Cent

Brief Description

The obverse features the profile of Abraham Lincoln facing right, with the inscriptions 'IN GOD WE TRUST', 'LIBERTY', and the date '1976'. The reverse (though not shown) features the Lincoln Memorial.

Historical Significance

Issued during the United States Bicentennial year, though this standard Lincoln Cent does not feature a special commemorative design like the quarter, half dollar, and dollar of the same year. It represents the long-standing Lincoln series designed by Victor David Brenner.

Estimated Value

$0.01 - $0.10 depending on condition (circulated value is primarily its melt value or face value).

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning or polishing as it can damage the surface and reduce any numismatic value. Use archival-quality coin holders (non-PVC) for protection.
