1998 Lincoln Memorial Cent Mint Error Broadstruck NGC Uncirculated North East Error Collection

This 1998 Lincoln copper cent features a significant broadstruck mint error, which occurs when the coin is struck outside of the retaining collar, resulting in a flatter and wider diameter than a standard penny. This specimen is graded as Mint Error Uncirculated by NGC and is housed in a specialty "Don't Tread On Me" Gadsden flag pedestal label from the North East Error Collection. The copper surfaces remain bright and lustrous, showcasing the distinct lack of rim definition characteristic of a genuine broadstrike error. This professionally slabbed item is an excellent addition for any error collector seeking unique numismatic varieties.

1998 Lincoln Memorial Cent Copper Mint Error Broadstruck NGC Uncirculated

Condition: This specimen is preserved in Uncirculated condition as certified by NGC, displaying original luster and sharp details characteristic of a coin that never entered general circulation. The copper surfaces show the typical reddish hue expected of a modern Lincoln cent. As a broadstruck error, the coin lacks the traditional raised rim because it was struck outside of the retaining collar, causing the metal to expand outward beyond its standard diameter while maintaining full design visibility.

The coin was struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1998. The metal content is copper-plated zinc, consistent with United States circulating coinage of this era. Historically, this piece represents a significant production error from the late 20th century, specifically part of the North East Error Collection. The strike type is a business strike Broadstruck error, and it has been officially graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as Mint Error Uncirculated.
