The 1942 Denver penny, also known as the one-cent coin, is a notable collectible item in the United States. It is part of the Lincoln cent series, which was first minted in 1909. The Denver mint produced these coins with a specific design featuring the image of President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the Union Shield on the reverse. The 1942 coin typically contains 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc, and its value can vary significantly based on its condition, mint marks, and market demand. Collectors often seek out uncirculated examples or those with unique characteristics for their numismatic collections.
