Description
The 2021 (P) Lincoln Shield Cent represents a Philadelphia Mint issue from the Lincoln Shield Cents 2010 to Date series. The U.S. Mint produced 3.9 billion examples, making this the lower-mintage of the two mint variants. 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. Philadelphia's mint — the nation's first — has produced coins without interruption since its founding in 1792. 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 #852825.
