Description
The 2009 (D) Satin Finish Lincoln Cent - Professional Life is a special strike cent struck at the Denver Mint, part of the Lincoln Bicentennial Cents 2009 series. The U.S. Mint produced 784,614 examples, making this the lowest mintage among 20 mint variants, representing only less than 1% of total production. The obverse features Abraham Lincoln facing right and the reverse displays four different designs released throughout 2009, each representing a stage of Lincoln's life. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. Struck at the Denver Mint, established in 1906 from an earlier assay office that processed Colorado gold rush metal. Estimated market value ranges from $0 to $12 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 95% copper, 5% tin and zinc, weighing 3.11 grams, 19 mm in diameter, with a plain edge. Cataloged as PCGS #407865.
