The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: The familiar profile of President Abraham Lincoln graces the obverse, a design that has appeared on the penny since 1909. Victor David Brenner's timeless portrait captures Lincoln's dignified character and enduring legacy. What makes 2017 special is the addition of the small "P" mint mark below the date - a historic first for the Lincoln Cent series.
Reverse: The Union Shield design, introduced in 2010, features a bold shield with 13 vertical stripes representing the original colonies, united by a horizontal bar across the top. This powerful symbol represents Lincoln's greatest achievement - preserving the United States as a single, unified country during the Civil War.
Why Collectors Choose This Set
