The reverse side showcases the Lincoln Memorial, designed by Frank Gasparro, which replaced the wheat ears design in 1959. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" are prominently displayed above the Lincoln Memorial, with "ONE CENT" at the bottom. This design commemorates the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's birth and remains a lasting symbol of American heritage.
Collectors value the 1983 D Lincoln Memorial Penny for its historical significance and its role in the everyday commerce of America. While these coins are more recent and generally not as rare, they still hold an important place in numismatic collections for their connection to a significant period in American history. Collectors often seek out well-preserved examples to highlight the detailed craftsmanship of this enduring design.
