The 1976 Denver 1-cent coin, commonly referred to as the Lincoln penny, is a notable collectible from the United States Mint. It is part of the larger series of Lincoln cents that were first introduced in 1909 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. Collectors often seek out coins from specific mint locations, with Denver (indicated by a "D" mintmark) being one of the primary mints alongside Philadelphia and San Francisco. The 1976 penny remains popular among both novice and advanced collectors, particularly when found in uncirculated condition or as part of a complete roll.
