The 1970 D Lincoln Memorial Penny is a notable piece of mid-20th century American coinage minted in Denver. This penny features the familiar bust of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse side, designed by Victor D. Brenner. Lincoln is depicted in a right-facing profile, with the inscription "IN GOD WE TRUST" above his head, "LIBERTY" to his left, and the date "1970" with the mint mark "D" (for Denver) to the right.
The reverse side showcases the Lincoln Memorial, which replaced the wheat ears design in 1959. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" are above the Lincoln Memorial, with "ONE CENT" at the bottom. This design, created by Frank Gasparro, commemorates the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's birth and remains a classic symbol of American history.
Collectors cherish the 1970 D Lincoln Memorial Penny for its connection to a pivotal era in American history. Coins from this period reflect the craftsmanship and design excellence of the U.S. Mint. Collectors particularly seek out well-preserved examples, as their condition can significantly enhance their value.
VERY VISIBLE DOUBLING !!!
