This piece is housed in a protective 2x2 cardboard flip with a 98pp identification label, ensuring the preservation of its high-grade surfaces and preventing environmental wear. As an uncirculated copper-plated issue, it serves as a perfect addition for collectors looking to complete a high-quality run of modern Lincoln pennies. 1991 Lincoln Memorial Cent Uncirculated Copper Plated Zinc Penny Condition: This 1991 Lincoln Memorial cent appears in uncirculated condition, exhibiting a strong luster and a sharp strike typical of a business strike coin that has not entered general circulation. The surfaces show original red copper color with minimal signs of handling. Minted in Philadelphia, this coin is composed of a copper-plated zinc core, which was the standard composition adopted in 1982 to reduce production costs. The historical context reflects the long-standing Lincoln series, which has featured Victor David Brenner’s obverse design since 1909 and Frank Gasparro’s Memorial reverse since 1959. This specific example is a business strike intended for circulation but preserved in an uncirculated state.
