Collectible coins, particularly those issued by the United States, encompass a wide range of denominations, including the one-cent (1c) coins, commonly known as "cents." The 1916 one-cent coin features the iconic design of the Lincoln penny, which was introduced in 1909 to commemorate President Abraham Lincoln's 100th birthday. This specific year is notable among collectors due to its lower mintage and demand for high-grade examples, making it a sought-after item in numismatics. Rolls of 1916 cents may contain a mix of circulated and uncirculated coins, influencing their overall value.
