The collection of Lincoln cents within this album includes the famous 1909-S V.D.B. Lincoln cent, which was created to commemorate the 100th birthday of Abraham Lincoln. This iconic coin holds historical significance and is highly sought after by collectors.
The Lincoln cents minted from 1909 to 1942 and 1944 to 1958 in this album are composed of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. Each coin has a diameter of 19 mm and weighs 3.11 grams. However, it is worth noting that Lincoln cents minted in 1943 had a different composition due to the shortage of copper during World War II. These coins were made of steel and coated with zinc. Some specimens were struck on bronze and silver, weighing 2.70 grams.
Throughout the designated years, Lincoln cents were minted at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints, adding to the historical and regional significance of the collection.
