The 1965 Lincoln Cent with a Memorial Reverse, minted in Philadelphia, is part of the Lincoln Cent series that began in 1909. The Memorial Reverse design, which features the Lincoln Memorial, was introduced in 1959, replacing the Wheat Ears reverse. The 1965 coins are made of a copper-plated zinc composition, reflecting a change in composition due to metal shortages during that period. Collectors often seek these coins in various conditions, with uncirculated examples commanding higher premiums.
