Description
Part of the Lincoln Memorial Cents 1959-2008 series, the 1968 (D) Lincoln Memorial Cent is a cent from the Denver Mint. The obverse features Abraham Lincoln facing right and the reverse displays the Lincoln Memorial building in Washington, D.C. San Francisco resumed proof production after a three-year hiatus during the coinage transition. Denver's mint evolved from a frontier assay office into one of the nation's primary coin production facilities, opening in 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $0 to $1 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 95% copper, 5% zinc, weighing 3.11 grams, 19 mm in diameter, with a plain edge. Cataloged as PCGS #2906.
