The 1959-P Lincoln Memorial Cent Uncirculated – Original Bank-Wrapped Roll marks the beginning of a new chapter in American coinage. This was the first year the reverse design transitioned from the Wheat Ears to the iconic Lincoln Memorial, making it a standout issue for collectors. Each roll contains 50 brilliant red cents, preserved in their original bank-wrapped form.

Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, these coins are business strikes composed of 95% copper with a fineness of 0.95. The rich red luster reflects their Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, offering the eye appeal collectors seek in vintage copper coinage. With no mintmark, the “P” designation represents its Philadelphia origin.

The reverse proudly displays the detailed Lincoln Memorial design, while the obverse continues to feature Victor D. Brenner’s timeless portrait of Abraham Lincoln. As the first year of the Memorial reverse series, the 1959 issue holds strong historical significance within the Lincoln cent collection. Original bank-wrapped rolls like this provide both authenticity and nostalgic appeal.

Whether you're building a date-and-mint set, investing in classic U.S. copper, or searching for premium red examples for grading, this roll offers exceptional opportunity. Original bank-wrapped rolls are increasingly difficult to find, especially with full red brilliance intact across all 50 coins.
