Description
Part of the Lincoln Memorial Cents 1959-2008 series, the 1988 (D) Lincoln Memorial Cent is a cent from the Denver Mint. The obverse features Abraham Lincoln facing right and the reverse displays the Lincoln Memorial building in Washington, D.C. Both mints produced typical quantities for circulation. The Denver Mint, which grew from an 1860s gold rush assay office, has served as a major production facility since 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $0.01 to $0.36 depending on grade and condition. Struck in copper-plated zinc, weighing 2.5 grams, 19.05 mm in diameter, with a plain edge. Cataloged as PCGS #83105.
