Over the years, Lincoln cents have undergone changes in both their composition and design. The reverse design of the coin transitioned from the iconic Wheat Ears to the current symbolic Shield design. The composition of the coins also went through three main stages. From 1909 to 1942 and 1944 to 1982, the coins were primarily made of copper. In 1943, due to the shortage of copper during World War II, Lincoln cents were temporarily minted using zinc-coated steel and some in bronze and silver. Since 1982 to the present, Lincoln cents have been primarily composed of copper-plated zinc.
All Lincoln cents in this collection have a uniform diameter of 19 mm. However, their weights have varied depending on their composition. Early-year coins, for instance, weigh 3.11 grams, while the cents from 1943 weigh 2.70 grams. The ones currently in circulation weigh 2.50 grams.
Dansco Coin Albums are known for their durability and convenience. The pages are securely attached to the album binder with metal screws, allowing for easy addition and replacement of coins as your collection grows or changes.
