The 1972 Lincoln cent, a one-cent coin from the United States, is notable for its distinctive design featuring President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse. In collectible contexts, the 1972 cents can be found in various conditions and can be part of rolls, which often contain multiple coins of the same year. Collectors may focus on attributes such as mint marks (e.g., Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco), errors, and varieties when assessing value. The coin is part of a broader series that holds interest for numismatists, particularly those seeking to complete collections of U.S. cents.
