Description

The 2025 (P) Lincoln Shield Cent, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, is part of the Lincoln Shield Cents 2010 to Date collection. The U.S. Mint produced 655.2 million examples, making this the highest mintage among 4 variants, accounting for 50% of the year's 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. 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 #936054.
