Shield Pennies (2010-2025)

About

It's official! The last U.S. pennies were minted as of November 12th, 2025. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history before they're gone! Following the special Bicentennial 2009 pennies program, the U.S. Mint redesigned the reverse of the Lincoln cent. The new reverse – designed by Lyndall Bass – depicts a “Union Shield” to represent President Lincoln’s preservation of the United States as a single, unified nation. The obverse continued Victor D. Brenner’s original Lincoln portrait design from 1909. These pennies with a shield on the back make a great addition to any collection, and every order is backed by our 14-day satisfaction guarantee.
