2002-D Lincoln Cent BU (Red)
The 2002 Lincoln Cent struck at the Denver Mint showcases a brilliant red luster, representing a modern chapter in one of America's most enduring coin series. Weighing 2.5 grams, this coin is composed of a zinc core, specifically 99.2 percent zinc, plated with a thin outer layer of 0.8 percent copper. The obverse features the historic right-facing portrait of Abraham Lincoln, originally designed by Victor David Brenner. Clearly visible are the traditional inscriptions of faith and freedom, including "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "LIBERTY," alongside the 2002 date and the "D" mint mark representing the Denver facility. On the reverse, the coin displays Frank Gasparro's detailed rendering of the Lincoln Memorial, a design that graced the one-cent piece continuously from 1959 to 2008. This side is inscribed with the national motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM," the country of origin "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," and the denomination "ONE CENT."
