Facts
The Lincoln cent is one of the most recognizable coins in the world. The use of Lincoln's portrait signifies his enduring legacy in American history and culture. The coin is a small piece of everyday commerce, but it carries significant historical and artistic value, representing a period of American history and design.
Value Fact
As a common date and mint mark from the late 20th century, the 2000 Lincoln cent generally holds little numismatic value above its face worth, especially in circulated condition.
