2023 Lincoln Cent BU (Red)
The 2023 Lincoln Cent continues a long-running American numismatic tradition, presenting a striking contrast between historic and modern design elements. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin is composed of a zinc core plated with copper, resulting in a composition of 99.2 percent zinc and 0.8 percent copper. Its brilliant uncirculated finish highlights the bright, red luster of the freshly minted metal. On the obverse, the coin features the iconic right-facing bust of Abraham Lincoln, a legendary design created by Victor David Brenner. This side of the coin bears the familiar inscriptions of LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST, alongside the 2023 year of issue. The reverse showcases the Union shield design by Lyndall Bass, which has been minted continuously from 2010 to the present day. This powerful emblem of national unity is accompanied by the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and the denomination ONE CENT.
