Description

2003 Lincoln Memorial Copper Penny Uncirculated

2003 Philadelphia Lincoln Memorial Copper Plated Zinc Penny Uncirculated

This 2003 Lincoln Memorial penny is an uncirculated copper-plated zinc specimen featuring a sharp strike and original mint luster. The obverse displays the classic portrait of Abraham Lincoln designed by Victor David Brenner, while the reverse showcases the iconic Frank Gasparro design of the Lincoln Memorial. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin remains in excellent condition, preserved in a protective 2x2 cardboard flip. As a high-grade uncirculated copper-toned cent, it serves as a beautiful example of the long-running Memorial series before the 2009 bicentennial design changes. This piece is ideal for collectors looking to complete a year set or those who appreciate the brilliant red-orange glow of a fresh, non-circulated copper finish.

2003 Lincoln Memorial One Cent Copper Plated Zinc Penny Uncirculated

Condition: This item is in uncirculated condition, maintaining its original mint luster with no signs of wear from circulation. The surfaces appear bright and well-preserved within a protective 2x2 flip. The coin was struck at the Philadelphia Mint as evidenced by the lack of a mint mark. It is composed of a copper-plated zinc core. This 2003 issue features the classic Lincoln Memorial reverse design by Frank Gasparro, which was used by the United States Mint from 1959 until 2008. The strike type is a standard business strike intended for general use but preserved in this high-grade state. No professional third-party grading is assigned.
