Description: At the start of 2017, the Mint released pennies with the mint mark P on the obverse to honor the institution’s 225th anniversary. This was the only year the Mint placed the mint mark P on Union Shield pennies. On the obverse, the 2017 penny features the left-facing portrait of President Abraham Lincoln. Above his head and around the inner collar is our country’s motto: IN GOD WE TRUST. You will see the word LIBERTY on the left surface while the year date, 2017, is shown on the right, in front of Lincoln’s portrait. When you turn over the coin on the reverse, you are met with the glorious image of the Union Shield flanked by a scroll with the coin’s denomination, ONE CENT, superimposed. On the shield, you will notice thirteen vertical stripes and one horizontal stripe on top. According to the Mint, the vertical stripes represent the thirteen states that initially formed the union after gaining independence from the colonialists. The horizontal bar symbolizes the federal government under which the states are united. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM graces the top of the shield. This motto translates to “Out of many, Our country’s name boldly appears at the top of the coin. You will notice the initials LB and JFM on the left and right ends of the scroll. These represent the reverse’s designer, Lyndall Bass and the sculptor Joseph Francis Menna. Don't miss your chance to own this rare and unique coin!
