Description
The 2005 (D) Lincoln Memorial Cent is a cent from the Denver Mint, belonging to the Lincoln Memorial Cents 1959-2008 series. The Denver Mint struck 3,764,450,500 cents dated 2005. The obverse features Abraham Lincoln facing right and the reverse displays the Lincoln Memorial building in Washington, D.C. Satin Finish Mint Set cents were introduced this year, replacing the traditional brilliant uncirculated finish in mint sets. Denver's mint evolved from a frontier assay office into one of the nation's primary coin production facilities, opening in 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 #3191.
