Description

2001-D Lincoln Memorial Copper Cent Proof-Like

2001-D Lincoln Memorial Copper Cent Proof-Like Uncirculated

This 2001-D Lincoln Memorial cent features a remarkable proof-like appearance, showcasing brilliant mirrored fields and sharp strikes that are characteristic of high-quality uncirculated specimens. Struck at the Denver Mint, this copper coin maintains a vibrant luster and strong eye appeal. While standard business strikes were intended for circulation, this specific piece exhibits the reflective surfaces often sought by collectors of proof-like (PL) designations. The obverse features the classic profile of Abraham Lincoln, while the reverse displays the iconic Memorial building. It comes protected in a classic 2x2 cardboard flip with a black ring insert, preserving its condition and visual clarity. This is an excellent addition for anyone specializing in Lincoln cents or high-grade modern copper coinage.

2001-D Lincoln Memorial Copper Plated Zinc Cent Proof-Like

Condition: This specimen exhibits a high-luster, proof-like finish with strong reflective qualities in the fields. The strike is sharp, featuring well-defined details on Lincoln's portrait and the Memorial building. The surfaces appear well-preserved within the protective holder, maintaining a bright red copper color. This coin was minted at the Denver Mint, as indicated by the D mint mark. The metal content consists of a core of 97.5% zinc plated with 2.5% copper. Historically, this coin is part of the long-running Lincoln Memorial series which debuted in 1959 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. This is a business strike produced with such high quality that it exhibits proof-like characteristics. The coin is currently ungraded but housed in a 2x2 cardboard flip.
