The coin exhibits the characteristic luster and detail of a piece that has not been in general circulation. As a broadstruck mint error, the coin was struck without the collar, causing it to expand beyond its standard diameter while retaining the full design elements. The surfaces maintain their original copper appearance with typical minor handling marks associated with the minting process. The coin was produced at the Philadelphia Mint in 1997. It is composed of copper-plated zinc. Historically, the Lincoln Memorial reverse was designed by Frank Gasparro and issued from 1959 to 2008. This specific piece is a business strike that suffered a production error known as a broadstrike, which occurs when the retaining collar is not properly engaged during the striking process. It is graded by NGC as Mint Error Uncirculated.
