1961 Proof Lincoln Memorial Copper Cent NGC PF69 RD TB
Condition: This specimen is in near-perfect condition, having been professionally graded PF69 RD by NGC. The "RD" designation indicates a full Red color, confirming the coin retains its original mint luster and copper brilliance without significant oxidation. It is housed in a specialty NGC holder featuring a textured background. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this copper coin represents the third year of the Lincoln Memorial reverse design, which replaced the Wheat stalks in 1959. As a proof strike, it was produced using specially polished dies and planchets, resulting in sharp, mirror-like details intended for collectors. The "TB" notation on the label refers to the specific holder style or collection lineage. This coin consists of a 95% copper alloy, typical for the era before the transition to zinc-coated cores in 1982.
