1964-D Lincoln Memorial Cent

This item is a 1964 United States Lincoln Memorial Cent, struck at the Denver Mint as indicated by the 'D' mint mark located beneath the date. The coin is composed of 95% copper and 5% tin/zinc, with a standard diameter of 19.05 mm and a weight of approximately 3.11 grams. The obverse features the iconic right-facing profile of Abraham Lincoln, originally designed by Victor David Brenner. The inscription 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is visible along the top rim, with 'LIBERTY' to the left and '1964' to the right. The coin displays a circulated condition with visible signs of wear throughout the high points of Lincoln’s hair and jacket. There is a noticeable brown patina or oxidation spreading across the fields, suggesting it has been handled often. Small surface scratches, contact marks, and minor edge dings are present, typical for a coin of this age that has been in circulation. The strike appears standard for the year, with moderate definition remaining in the lettering despite the environmental toning and surface grime. No major mint errors like double dies or off-center strikes are immediately apparent in this view, positioning it as a common-era, high-mintage circulation strike from the mid-20th century.
