This 1978 P Lincoln Memorial Cent is an uncirculated copper coin featuring sharp details and its original mint luster.

The obverse showcases the classic portrait of Abraham Lincoln, while the reverse features the detailed Lincoln Memorial design. This copper penny has been preserved in a protective flip to maintain its uncirculated condition, making it an excellent addition for collectors looking for high-quality examples of late 1970s copper coinage.

Condition: This item is in uncirculated condition, exhibiting original mint luster with a natural copper orange-brown tone. The surfaces appear well-preserved within a protective flip, showing no significant signs of wear on the high points of Lincoln's portrait or the Memorial building. The strike type is a standard business strike. This coin was minted in Philadelphia, which is indicated by the absence of a mint mark. Composed of a 95% copper alloy, this 1978 cent represents the later years of the copper composition before the transition to zinc-based planchets in 1982. The Lincoln Memorial reverse design, by Frank Gasparro, was used to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. This coin is raw and has not been professionally graded by a third-party service.
