The 1971 Lincoln Cent features the Memorial reverse design, which portrays the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. This coin is part of the series initiated in 1959, replacing the previous wheat reverse design. The Memorial reverse coins are notable for their copper composition (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc) prior to the composition change in 1982. The 1971 Lincoln Cent is commonly collected for its historical significance and can be found in high quantities, although well-preserved specimens are sought after by collectors.
