NGC US Coin Census for Lincoln Cents, Memorial Reverse (1959-2008)

Owner Comments:

The obverse of the penny pictures a right-facing profile of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States of America. It was designed by V. D. Brenner .
The front reads, "IN GOD WE TRUST," "LIBERTY," and the year the coin was minted. The initial under the date is the mint mark. The reverse of the penny pictures the Lincoln Memorial, a monument to Abraham Lincoln located in Washington, D.C. If you look closely at a real penny, you can see a tiny picture of Lincoln sitting inside the Lincoln Memorial.
The back reads, "UNITED STATES oF AMERICA," "ONE CENT," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" (which means, "Out of many, one"). This design was adopted in 1959, replacing one that pictured two stalks of wheat; it was designed by Frank Gasparro. Circulation:3,300,000,000
