{"product_id":"2023-p-lincoln-shield-cent-bu","title":"2023-P Lincoln Shield Cent BU","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis 2023-P Lincoln Shield Cent BU is a modern issue from the later years of the Lincoln cent series, struck at the Philadelphia 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. Philadelphia 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 the Union Shield reverse design for the regular series, which remained the standard type through the later 2010s and 2020s. That gives coins like the 2023-P 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 2023-P is especially appealing for collectors who want a clean Philadelphia 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.
