2025 Shield Copper LYP CAC MS64RD $130
This 2025 Lincoln Shield Cent is a remarkable modern specimen, professionally graded MS64RD by CAC Grading (CACG) and housed in their premium tamper-evident holder. The coin exhibits a brilliant, full red luster (RD) that remains untarnished, showcasing the sharp strikes of the Lincoln obverse and the symbolic Union Shield reverse. Beyond its high technical grade, this piece is particularly significant as it bears the green CAC seal, indicating it has met the rigorous quality standards of one of the industry's most respected third-party authenticators. As a forward-dated release, it represents a unique opportunity for registry set collectors and modern coin enthusiasts to acquire a high-eye-appeal example of the current United States cent design before wide circulation. Offered at $130, this CAC-certified MS64RD is a secure investment for those seeking guaranteed authenticity and superior surface preservation in a modern copper classic.
Condition: This specimen is graded MS64RD by CAC Grading, indicating a choice Mint State condition with full original Red luster. The coin exhibits a strong strike and minimal surface marks consistent with its numeric grade. As a 2025 Shield Cent, it features the portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and the Union Shield on the reverse. The metal content is copper-plated zinc, which has been the standard composition for the one-cent denomination since 1982. This coin is particularly significant as the Last Year Penny (LYP) for the series, marking the final year of production for the United States one-cent piece. Due to its status as the terminal year of the denomination, it is a key piece of American numismatic history. The lack of a mint mark indicates it was struck at the Philadelphia Mint. While typical modern circulating coinage has high mintages, this specific year represents a transition point in currency history, and certified high-grade examples like this CAC-slabbed MS64RD are sought after by collectors for their verified quality and historical relevance as the final issue of the cent.
