  The 1998 Lincoln Memorial Penny is a staple of late 20th-century American coinage. 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 "1998" to the right.

  The reverse side of the coin showcases the Lincoln Memorial, a design introduced by Frank Gasparro 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 symbolizes his enduring legacy in American history.

  Collectors value the 1998 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.
