Key Facts & Value

Key Fact

Historical significanceThe Lincoln Penny was introduced in 1909 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, making it one of the longest-running coins in U.S. history.

Artistic influenceDesigned by Victor David Brenner, the obverse features a detailed portrayal of Lincoln, which has influenced coin design globally.

Cultural impactThe penny has been the subject of various cultural references and is often seen as a symbol of good luck, especially when found.

Value Fact

The value of a Lincoln Penny can vary widely depending on its year of minting, condition, and rarity. Certain years, especially those with lower mintage or errors, can command significantly higher prices among collectors. While most modern pennies are worth their face value, older or rare specimens can be worth much more, sometimes reaching hundreds of dollars at auction.

Factors that add value include rarity, historical context, and condition. A well-preserved coin from a low-mintage year can be particularly sought after.
