Copper Lincoln Pennies Roll of 50

Until 1982, Lincoln Pennies were struck in .950 copper; after 1982, Lincoln Pennies were struck in .992 zinc with a plating of copper.

The Lincoln Penny was first minted in 1909 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth.  It was the first circulating coin to feature a real person instead of Lady Liberty.  The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Lincoln by sculptor Victor D. Brenner.  The Lincoln Memorial design first appeared on the reverse in 1959 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth.

This is a roll of 50 coins.

This is a great way to start or add to a collection of Lincoln Pennies, as well as the ideal way to get children and grandchildren interested in coin collecting.
