2. Small Date vs. Large Date: In 1960, the Lincoln Memorial Penny underwent a date size change, with some coins having a small date and others having a large date.

[{"selector":"#anim-46bfeda6-c387-4a1f-9ba4-ab6fa948e998","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(117.82179%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d45a276d-720c-448f-8c5a-26332df6e583","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-343425e0-6568-44f0-abee-fe90e6d418da","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3fdc2003-a049-453d-b6f9-0a4655bfff67 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, -0.00003398058316150809%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

3. Mint Error Strikes: Occasionally, errors occur during the minting process, resulting in unique variations of the Lincoln Memorial Penny.

[{"selector":"#anim-5f1059d0-87c2-449d-afa0-4c95c8ca0505","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(118.00001%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-07156c31-ef5f-4bf3-871b-44f5106c6601","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c6835081-9507-4074-8093-1a9b7d11e20c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ad948e4a-e6be-46d5-bedc-7520936af95e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-2.4868995751603507e-14%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

4. Copper vs. Zinc Composition: From 1982 to 2008, the Lincoln Memorial Penny was minted in both copper and zinc compositions.

[{"selector":"#anim-8d51a30c-3fe2-4795-9242-63d5f54ec14b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(118.00001%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-57487133-316b-416b-b338-4561182df2ba","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ac7583d4-67f0-4d69-9d6f-59d69cc2b5cc","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-00fbde0b-7abb-4ccb-bc43-5bd5e51fb13f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(17.36765752497588%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

5. S Proof Sets: In certain years, the Lincoln Memorial Penny was included in special proof sets, which are coins struck with extra care and detail.

[{"selector":"#anim-ebaf9a85-ddc9-4952-8426-fde753603d20","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(117.64707%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ccef3217-f074-4c75-acfd-2fa02a39a281","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a8b496ec-aa13-4fcd-a9d2-da4811c59c7b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-03a56909-057e-4744-9f28-7a7dafcddd65 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

RPM (Re-punched Mint Mark): Some Lincoln Memorial Pennies exhibit a re-punched mint mark, where the mint mark was punched multiple times.

7. Wide AM vs. Close AM: In 1992, the design of the letters "AM" in "AMERICA" on the reverse side of the Lincoln Memorial Penny was changed.

[{"selector":"#anim-77b9585d-96f3-403f-9107-f4dc58149466","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.81912%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b7e77cbc-c472-4508-89fa-2d1824b0bd16","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a5dddbb6-46e2-48e6-b716-ea634bfb2a49","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f2c382f2-2405-422b-bb2f-9650eabaa1b5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(3.552713678800501e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Transitional Errors: During the switch from copper to zinc composition in 1982, some coins were mistakenly struck on copper planchets intended for the previous year.

9. Mint Mark Variations: The Lincoln Memorial Penny has been minted in various locations, including Philadelphia (no mint mark), Denver (D mint mark), and San Francisco (S mint mark).

[{"selector":"#anim-119ca877-0573-4572-9819-64d82fa06255","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(118.00001%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a09d39d1-4a07-4543-8384-ad099bade65e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-740860c4-2611-4614-8796-abdf8773c904","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-28fa9752-1901-498a-9130-630b8eb12641 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

10. Condition Rarity: Like any coin, the condition of a Lincoln Memorial Penny plays a significant role in its value.

[{"selector":"#anim-72977bed-eaed-4656-975e-9cdcc0c980cc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fe739207-e1c5-46dc-8df0-8d2a2642e5dd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(117.82179%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dde54e01-1bca-4376-b812-951ef20d3ab9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aba6ba3f-417a-4460-a306-905954bbac3a","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]
