Whitman US Lincoln Memorial Cent Coin Album 195920079141

Strong, soil-resistant Whitman albums with blue textured leatherette cover are designed with thumb notches for easy window removal. In 1959 the cent coin had seen a new design. The reverse of the coin had the Lincoln Memorial, and the new design would be seen on all cents minted until 2008. In 2009 Lincoln cent coins were struck with four new different reverse designs to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth. Lincoln cents from 1959-1982 are made of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc; each weighs 3.11 grams. Lincoln cents from 1982 to Date are made of copper-plated zinc (core: 0.992 zinc, 0.008 copper; with a plating of pure copper), and each weighs 2.5 grams. All Lincoln cents measure 19 mm in diameter.
