The American penny was in continuous production longer than any other US coin, with its story beginning in 1793 when the first large cents rolled off the presses of the fledgling Philadelphia Mint: hand-fed, imperfect, and bearing the face of a flowing-haired Liberty that felt entirely new to a young nation. Through the 19th century, the coin evolved steadily, moving through the Flying Eagle and Indian Head designs before arriving at the Lincoln cent in 1909, the first US circulating coin to feature a real historical figure. With the penny now discontinued, the final strikes from 2025 serve as a collectible reminder of one of the nation’s original coins. Right now, 2025 Lincoln Shield Penny 2-Coin Sets are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Set Highlights:
Each 2025 Lincoln Shield Penny 2-Coin Set comes with two coins, with each coin individually slabbed by the NGC. These coins are Mint State 65 specimens and earned the RD designation. The RD designation stands for RED and indicates that the coins retain at least 95% of their original copper-red luster.
The final pennies struck by the US Mint in 2025 carry a historical significance that transcends their modest face value, representing the close of a numismatic era that stretches back to the very birth of the American republic. As the last in an unbroken line of one-cent coins produced since 1793, these final issues are destined to become some of the most sought-after and symbolically charged pieces in the entire Lincoln cent series — the coins that mark where a 232-year tradition came to an end.
For the obverse of the 2025 Lincoln Shield Penny, the design features one of the most recognized portraits in the history of world coinage on its obverse: Victor David Brenner’s dignified profile of Abraham Lincoln, rendered with a warmth and humanity that has made it a fixture of American daily life since its introduction in 1909. Brenner drew his inspiration from a photograph taken of Lincoln in 1864, and the resulting portrait has proven so enduring and beloved that it has outlasted every other element of the coin’s design across more than a century of production.
In the reverse design of 2025 Lincoln Shield Pennies, you will see the Union Shield design introduced in 2010, depicting a bold vertical shield with thirteen stripes representing the original colonies and a horizontal bar bearing the inscription E Pluribus Unum.
