The Lincoln cent was first released in 1909 to commemorate the centennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth. Its introduction marked a significant moment in U.S. minting history, as it became the first American coin to replace symbolic Liberty imagery with the portrait of a historical figure. This beautiful 1972 Lincoln Penny has the coveted RD designation, with fully red surfaces and a vibrant, satin luster. Right now, the 1972 Lincoln Penny is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1972 Lincoln Penny is in MS65 condition with very pleasing eye appeal, a few scattered contact marks or two larger marks, and one or two small patches of hairlines. RD stands for Red and means the coin retains at least 95% of its original reddish-orange copper color. The coin has a red-orange color on the obverse with a bright, even sheen on the reverse.
The 1972 Lincoln cent is famous among variety collectors for the highly sought-after 1972 doubled die obverse, which shows dramatic doubling on the date and inscriptions due to a hub doubling error during die production. While normal 1972 cents are common with billions produced, the doubled die variety commands substantial premiums and remains one of the most recognizable and valuable modern Lincoln cent errors.
The obverse of the 1972 Lincoln Penny features a bust of President Abraham Lincoln. Created by Victor David Brenner, the right-facing portrait was modeled after an 1864 photograph by Matthew Brady. Brenner’s design captures Lincoln’s defining features with precision while maintaining a calm and respectful presentation.
On the reverse of 1972 Lincoln Penny Coins, you’ll find the Lincoln Memorial design. In 1959, the wheat ears reverse was replaced with Frank Gasparro’s Lincoln Memorial design, commemorating the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth and the 50th anniversary of the Lincoln cent. The design depicts the Memorial’s iconic columned facade with a tiny representation of the Lincoln statue visible between the central columns, creating a coin that honors Lincoln on both sides while showcasing one of Washington D.C.’s most recognizable monuments.
