United States Lincoln Memorial Cent (Reverse)

The item is a United States one-cent coin, commonly known as a penny, specifically displaying the reverse side featuring the Lincoln Memorial. The coin exhibits a classic copper-brown coloration, consistent with its composition. While the exact diameter is not measurable from the image, standard US cents are approximately 19.05 mm (0.75 inches) in diameter. The overall condition appears to be circulated, indicated by a slight dullness in the luster and minor surface abrasions consistent with regular handling and wear over time. There are no obvious deep scratches, dents, or significant corrosion visible. The details of the Lincoln Memorial architecture, including the columns and steps, are clearly discernible, though not extremely sharp. The inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' above the memorial, and 'ONE CENT' below it, are all legible. No distinct mint mark is visible in this view, which would typically be located below 'ONE CENT' or, for certain years, above the memorial. The coin's design, introduced in 1959, places its estimated age from 1959 to the present, indicating a mid-20th to early 21st-century style period. Its craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced coinage by the U.S. Mint, characterized by precise but not overly ornate detailing. No unique or unusual aspects, such as errors or specific die varieties, are discernible from this image.
