The penny is the most ubiquitous coin in circulation in the United States today. The value and feasibility of the penny has come into question today due to the rise of credit cards and mobile-payment platforms. For investors and collectors, pennies remain an important part of the history of currency in the US. Today, you can purchase 95% Copper Lincoln Memorial Pennies from JM Bullion. These coins are in varied condition and each bag contains $50 face value (5,000 pennies).
Although President Abraham Lincoln is commonly associated with the penny today, the national 1-cent piece has been around since the first coins left the United States Mint in 1793. Between 1793 and 1837, pennies were struck using pure copper. The first 95% copper pennies were produced between 1837 and 1857. Lincoln did appear on the penny until 1909, and the 95% Copper Lincoln Memorial Pennies were not introduced until 1959.
The first 95% Copper Lincoln Memorial Pennies were struck in 1959 in honor of Lincoln’s sesquicentennial. All pennies struck in the US between 1959 and 1982 bore the image of Lincoln and the Lincoln Memorial, and consisted of two different alloy mixtures during this time. Between 1959 and 1962, the coins consisted of 95% copper and a 5% mixture of tin and zinc. From 1963 until 1982, the coins have a 95% copper and 5% zinc composition.
A 95% Copper Lincoln Memorial Penny bears the right-profile portrait of the nation’s 16th President on the obverse side. Lincoln’s image is surrounded by the engravings “In God We Trust,” “Liberty,” and the year of minting, as well as the mint mark. On the reverse is the image of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. If you look closely, you can see a seated Abraham Lincoln inside the Memorial on the coin’s reverse side.
The United States Mint struck all 95% Copper Lincoln Memorial Pennies for the federal government. If you have questions about your JM Bullion purchase or these 95% copper coins, please feel free to contact us at 800-276-6508, or online via live chat and email.
