United States Lincoln Cent

This is a United States one-cent coin, commonly known as a Lincoln Penny, featuring the right-facing profile of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse. The coin exhibits a copper-red to brown metallic coloration consistent with circulated copper or copper-plated zinc specimens. Based on the visible design elements, including the 'IN GOD WE TRUST' motto along the top rim and 'LIBERTY' to the left of the portrait, it follows the Victore David Brenner design established in 1909. The date, though slightly blurred, appears to be from the mid-to-late 20th century. The condition shows visible signs of circulation wear, including softened details on Lincoln's hair and clothing, as well as minor surface scratches and a light patina. There are no immediate signs of rare mint errors visible in this resolution. The rim remains relatively intact with minor nicks, typical of general circulation coinage. The craftsmanship is indicative of high-speed industrial minting processes used by the U.S. Mint at facilities such as Philadelphia or Denver.
