coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 1c \ Lincoln Cents - Memorial Reverse \ 1959 \ Philadelphia
The 1959 Lincoln Cent with a Memorial Reverse was the first year of the new design, replacing the previous Wheat Reverse. It was minted in Philadelphia, which does not have a mint mark, making those coins particularly desirable for collectors. This coin features Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse, symbolizing unity and freedom. Its significance in the transition of the Lincoln Cent design adds to its collectible appeal.
