lincoln memorial cent

3 posts in this topic

I was wondering when did they actually began making the lincoln cent with the memorial on the reverse.  I think I have found an old penny thats dated 1920.  The appearance is rough but I believe it says 1920

There were no Lincoln Memorial Cents before 1959. The memorial itself wasn't built until 1922, so your coin is most likely damaged in a way that makes the date seem to read 1920.
