The 1986 United States cent, minted in Denver, is part of the Lincoln penny series and features the iconic obverse design depicting President Abraham Lincoln. These coins are made primarily of zinc with a thin copper coating, reflecting changes in composition that occurred in the 1980s due to rising metal costs. A roll of 1 cent coins typically contains 50 coins, offering collectors a convenient way to accumulate and store these issues. Collectors often seek uncirculated or higher-grade examples for potential value appreciation.
