Collector Context

Designer Frank Gasparro (reverse), Victor David Brenner (obverse)Years 1959–2008

The Lincoln Memorial reverse replaced the Wheat reverse in 1959 to mark Lincoln's 150th birth anniversary. The composition switched from 95% copper to copper-plated zinc in 1982 - the famous "small date / large date" varieties of 1982 mark the transition. Replaced by four bicentennial designs in 2009.
