The 1966 Lincoln cent, part of the United States Mint's coinage, features the image of President Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse. This coin is made of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc, characteristic of the Lincoln cents minted prior to 1982, when the composition changed to primarily zinc. As a collectible, the 1966 Lincoln cent may be of interest to numismatists due to its historical context, mintage numbers, and overall condition of the coin, including variations such as those in uncirculated grades or with specific mint errors.
