The 1988 Denver Mint 1 cent coin, commonly known as the penny, is part of the Lincoln cent series that has been produced since 1909. This specific coin features the portrait of President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the Union Shield design on the reverse, which was introduced in 2010. The 1988 Denver penny is composed of 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper, as the United States switched from a primarily copper composition in 1982. Collecting rolls of 1988 Denver 1 cent coins can be appealing to numismatists due to their historical significance and relatively low mintage compared to other years.
