2019 W Uncirculated Lincoln Shield Cent NGC MS70 RD  - West Point Mint

The NGC cert # will vary

This is the third cent to feature the ‘W’ mint mark of the West Point Mint, and they are no longer able to be purchased from the US Mint

Here are a few details about the coin:

Lincoln Cents have been struck for the past 111 years, typically with no mint mark (if struck in Philadelphia), a ‘D’ mint mark (if struck in Denver) or an ‘S’ mint mark (if struck in San Francisco). In 2017, a ‘P’ mint mark was included on the Philadelphia issues for the first time to celebrate the 225th anniversary of the US Mint.

Today, the US Mint branch in West Point, New York, is best known for minting commemorative and bullion coins in precious metals including silver, gold, platinum and palladium. However, before it was elevated to a branch mint, the West Point facility produced Lincoln Cents for circulation from 1974 to 1986. These had no mint mark and are indistinguishable from the Philadelphia issues.
