The 1-cent coin, commonly known as the penny, is a denomination of the United States currency. The 1959 pennies, particularly those minted in Denver, are notable for marking the end of the wheat reverse design and the introduction of the Lincoln Memorial reverse design. Collectors often seek out these coins in uncirculated condition, as well as any errors or varieties that may have occurred during minting. Rolls of 1959-D cents may contain desirable examples for both numismatists and those interested in the historical context of U.S. coinage.
