Description
The 2010 (D) Lincoln Shield Cent is a cent produced at the Denver Mint as part of the Lincoln Shield Cents 2010 to Date series. The U.S. Mint produced 2.0 billion examples, making this the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 51% of production. The obverse features Abraham Lincoln facing right and the reverse displays a Union shield with a scroll banner reading ONE CENT, symbolizing Lincoln's preservation of the Union. 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 $0 depending on grade and condition. Struck in copper-plated zinc, weighing 2.5 grams, 19 mm in diameter, with a plain edge. Cataloged as PCGS #416671.
