United States Lincoln Cent (Penny)

The item is a circular metal coin, appearing to be a United States Lincoln Cent, commonly known as a penny. Its primary color is a dull, coppery bronze, indicative of its copper or copper-plated zinc composition. The coin is depicted against a textured, dark blue fabric surface, possibly fleece or a similar material. Based on the visible obverse side, the item features the right-facing profile of Abraham Lincoln. While specific details like the date and mint mark are not clearly discernible due to the image resolution and lighting, the overall design is consistent with a modern Lincoln cent. There are signs of general circulation wear, including some tarnishing and a loss of original luster, suggesting it has been in use for some time. No significant damage such as deep scratches, bends, or perforations are visible, but the surface exhibits a uniformly circulated patina. The raised elements of Lincoln's portrait appear somewhat softened, which is typical for a coin that has passed through many hands. The rim of the coin is slightly elevated, designed to protect the central design. Given its circulated appearance and the standard design elements, it likely dates from the mid-20th century to the present day. The craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced coinage, with a standard strike quality. There are no unique markings or unusual aspects immediately apparent from this single view.
