{"product_id":"2021-d-lincoln-shield-cent-bu","title":"2021-D Lincoln Shield Cent BU","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis 2021-D Lincoln Shield Cent BU is a modern issue from the later years of the Lincoln cent series, struck at the Denver Mint with the Union Shield reverse. In Brilliant Uncirculated condition, it offers the crisp detail and fresh appearance collectors look for in a newly issued coin. Denver examples are an important part of any complete date-and-mint Lincoln cent set, and later Shield cents carry extra interest as part of the final stretch of the series.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Lincoln Shield reverse was introduced in 2010 after the 2009 Bicentennial cents. It kept Victor D. Brenner’s portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the obverse and added Lyndall Bass’s Union Shield design on the reverse, symbolizing unity and Lincoln’s role in preserving the nation. That reverse remained the standard design throughout the Shield-cent run, giving coins from this period a distinct place in the long history of the Lincoln cent.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCollectors often enjoy modern Lincoln cents because they are affordable, easy to organize by date and mint, and still tied to one of the most recognizable designs in American coinage. A Brilliant Uncirculated 2021-D is especially appealing for collectors who want a clean Denver example with original mint surfaces and strong eye appeal. Coins like this work well in a Shield-cent set, a broader Lincoln cent collection, or a modern U.S. coin album. The last sentence is an inference based on the coin’s series, mint, and BU condition.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecifications \u0026amp; Mintage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDenomination: One Cent\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeries: Lincoln Shield Cent\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigner: Victor D.
