2017-S Lincoln Cent BU (Enhanced Finish)
The 2017-S Lincoln Cent showcases a distinct visual texture known as the enhanced finish. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this copper-plated zinc coin elevates a familiar everyday denomination into a work of precise craftsmanship. The coin's composition consists of 99.2 percent zinc with a thin outer layer of 0.8 percent copper. On the obverse, the classic right-facing portrait of Abraham Lincoln, originally created by Victor David Brenner, remains the central focus. The crisp lettering of IN GOD WE TRUST and LIBERTY frames the profile, accompanied by the 2017 date and the S mint mark below it. The reverse features the Union Shield design by Lyndall Bass, which has been the standard backing for the penny since 2010. This strong emblem is inscribed with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and E PLURIBUS UNUM across the top, while the denomination ONE CENT is boldly banner-draped across the center of the shield.
