The 1974 Lincoln Memorial Penny is a staple of American coinage, minted during an era of great change and progress in the United States. 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 inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" above his head, "LIBERTY" to his left, and the date "1974" to the right.

The reverse side of the coin showcases the Lincoln Memorial, a design created by Frank Gasparro, which replaced the wheat ears design in 1959. Above the Lincoln Memorial, the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" are prominently displayed, with "ONE CENT" at the bottom. This design commemorates the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's birth and remains a lasting symbol of American heritage.

When found in excellent condition, these coins reflect the meticulous craftsmanship of the U.S. Mint.
