Description

The 1971 Lincoln Memorial Cent - Doubled Die Obverse, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, is part of the Lincoln Memorial Cents 1959-2008 collection. The obverse features Abraham Lincoln facing right and the reverse displays the Lincoln Memorial building in Washington, D.C. The 1971 Doubled Die Obverse is a significant variety. San Francisco produced both proofs and business strikes this year. Philadelphia's mint — the nation's first — has produced coins without interruption since its founding in 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $30 to $353 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 #82941.
