1998 Philadelphia Mint Lincoln Memorial Copper Plated Zinc Penny Uncirculated
Condition: This 1998 Lincoln Memorial penny appears to be in uncirculated condition, maintaining its original mint luster and a bright copper-orange color. The surfaces show minimal signs of handling and no significant wear on the high points of Lincoln’s bust or the Memorial building. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint (indicated by the lack of a mint mark), this coin is composed of a copper-plated zinc core. The strike type is a standard business strike, showing clear details in the lettering and the pillars of the monument. Historically, this coin represents the long-standing Lincoln cent series, specifically the Memorial reverse design which was used from 1959 through 2008. The coin is currently housed in a protective 2x2 cardboard flip.
