Unique Copper Cross Lincoln Penny Cutout $130

Updated August 24, 2026

Unique Copper Cross Lincoln Penny Cutout $130 This unique collectible features a genuine copper Lincoln Wheat Cent that has been meticulously modified with a precision-cut cross in the center. The intricate cutout preserves the original coin's peripheral details, including the "In God We Trust" and "Liberty" inscriptions, which gain a profound new symbolic meaning when framed around the cross. The coin displays a rich, natural copper patina with authentic wear, indicating its history as a circulated piece of American currency before its transformation into a work of folk art. Such "cut-out" coins are highly sought after by exonumia collectors and those interested in religious keepsakes, as they require significant skill to create without warping the original metal. This specific piece is housed in a protective numismatic flip with a reference label, ensuring its condition is preserved for display or as a meaningful gift for a collector of unique Americana. Condition: This item is a modified United States Lincoln cent that has been significantly altered through a mechanical cutout process to create a cross-shaped void in the center. The surface shows a circulated brown patina with moderate wear on the remaining lettering and features. Because it has been intentionally cut, it is considered a damaged or altered coin rather than a numismatic specimen in a standard grade. The mint mark is "D," indicating it was originally struck at the Denver Mint, though the specific date is partially missing due to the cutout. Based on the visible "19" and "4" in the date area, it was produced in the 1940s. The metal content for a Denver cent from this era is 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. Historically, these cutouts are considered folk art or "pockets pieces" often created for religious or novelty purposes. The strike type is a standard business strike intended for circulation. There is no professional numismatic grading for this item as major services do not grade coins with intentional structural alterations or "post-mint damage." penny, cross, cutout, Lincoln cent, religious, coin, copper, token, numismatic, novelty, jewelry, christianity, faith, stamped, punch out cross cutout penny, religious coin, christian novelty, stamped penny, lincoln cent, coin art, collectible coin, spiritual gift, cutout coin jewelry, lucky penny IMPORTANT BIDDER NOTICE Bidder is solely responsible for determining value, condition, completeness, authenticity, fitment, grade, and usefulness before bidding.
