About the 1982 US 1 Cent "Lincoln Memorial Cent" copper plated zinc
The 1982 1 Cent "Lincoln Memorial Cent" is a notable coin in American numismatics, primarily due to its transition in composition and its significance in the long-running series honouring President Abraham Lincoln. Struck at the United States Mint in Philadelphia, this coin features the iconic Lincoln Memorial on the reverse side, symbolising the enduring legacy of Lincoln's contributions to the nation. The 1982 issue is particularly significant as it was the year the Mint transitioned from a predominantly copper composition to a copper plated zinc mixture, marking a pivotal change in coin production due to rising metal costs. Its circulation condition reflects its widespread use, and it serves as a tangible link to both American history and the evolution of coinage in the United States.
