1973 P-D-S 15 Uncirculated US Mint Lincoln Cents Penny Souvenir Mini Bag

BUREAU OF THE MINT

The fifteen coins in this bag are Uncirculated cents, five from each of the following: the Philadelphia and Denver Mints and the San Francisco Assay Office.

The bag is similar to the larger mint bags used to transport United States coinage to the 37 Federal Reserve Banks and Branches.

The portrait of Abraham Lincoln first appeared on the penny in 1909 and marked a historical first in U. S. coinage by being the first portrait coin issued for circulation.

The difference in the face value of the coins and the total cost covers the cost of material and labor in order to make this souvenir available to you.
