The 1983 Lincoln Memorial Reverse penny is a one-cent coin issued by the United States Mint, featuring the likeness of President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the iconic Memorial building on the reverse. This penny is part of the Lincoln Cents series, which has been produced since 1909. The 1983 penny is notable for its production during a period of high inflation, and it is comprised of 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper, following a change in composition. Collectors often seek out variations in this series, including the 1983-D coin, which was minted in Denver and is highly collectible due to its lower mintage compared to other years.
