2000-S Lincoln Cent Gem Proof (Red)
The year 2000 marked a modern milestone for one of America's most enduring coin designs. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this brilliant Gem Proof cent showcases the iconic portrait of Abraham Lincoln. The obverse features the president facing right, accompanied by the traditional inscriptions of liberty and trust. The deep, mirrored fields of the proof finish highlight the fine details of the portrait, which was originally created by Victor David Brenner. On the reverse, the coin features the Lincoln Memorial, a design by Frank Gasparro that graced the one-cent piece from 1959 to 2008. The legendary structure is rendered with crisp precision, surrounded by the phrases denoting national unity and the coin's face value. Composed of a traditional alloy containing 95 percent copper alongside 5 percent tin and zinc, this coin represents a beautiful marriage of classic twentieth-century design and modern minting technology.
