Dansco Coin Albums have been a trusted companion for both seasoned numismatists and aspiring coin collectors. The Lincoln Cents 1959 to 2009 Dansco Album is specifically designed to house and showcase Lincoln cents minted between 1959 and 2009. This album comes in a durable 3/4″ binder, providing ample space for up to 144 coins.
The album consists of four Dansco pages, each carefully designed to hold and display the complete range of Lincoln cents minted during this period. The series includes page 8100-5, pages 7100-5 to 7100-8, page 8102-1, and pages 7102-1 to 7102-4. These pages ensure that your collection is organized and presented in a cohesive manner.
Notably, the Lincoln cent underwent a significant design change in 1959. The reverse of the coin featured the iconic Lincoln Memorial, which remained the standard design until 2008. In 2009, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth, the Lincoln cent featured four new and distinct reverse designs.
The composition of Lincoln cents also varied over the years. Cents minted from 1959 to 1982 are composed of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc, weighing 3.11 grams each. From 1982 to the present, Lincoln cents are made of copper-plated zinc, with a core consisting of 0.992 zinc and 0.008 copper, and a pure copper plating. These newer cents weigh 2.5 grams each.
Measuring 19 mm in diameter, all Lincoln cents in this collection are of uniform size, allowing for a consistent and visually appealing presentation. Dansco Coin Albums feature pages that are securely attached with metal screws, enabling easy addition and replacement of coins as your collection grows.
