The 1978 Lincoln Cent features the Memorial reverse, which depicts the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. This design was used from 1959 until 2008 and represents a shift from the earlier wheat reverse design. The 1978 penny is made of 95% copper and 5% zinc, weighing 2.5 grams, and is part of the larger series of Lincoln Cents that celebrate the legacy of President Abraham Lincoln. In collector circles, the condition and mint mark can greatly influence the coin's value.
