Additional Description: United States one-cent coins dated from 1909 through 1985 represent a substantial and formative period in American numismatic history. Introduced in 1909, the Lincoln cent marked a departure from earlier designs by featuring a historical figure rather than an allegorical image. Throughout this period, the cent underwent notable changes in composition, manufacturing methods, and minor design details, reflecting broader economic and technological developments. Collectively, these coins provide valuable insight into the evolution of United States coinage across much of the twentieth century.
