Design and Specifications of the 2007 Cent
The 2007 Lincoln cent continued the long-standing tradition of honoring America’s 16th president. This year marked the 98th year of the Lincoln cent design, which was first introduced in 1909. The Lincoln Memorial reverse, introduced in 1959, was nearing the end of its run, as plans were already underway for the upcoming 2009 bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth, which would feature new reverse designs.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 2007 Lincoln cents, particularly for circulation strikes. While these coins are common in circulated grades, specimens in pristine, uncirculated condition (MS65 and above) can command significant premiums. For circulation strikes, look for coins with full, original mint luster, sharp strike details, and minimal contact marks.
Proof coins are generally well-preserved, but perfect PR70 examples are scarce and highly sought after by collectors. The deep cameo contrast between the frosted devices and mirrored fields is particularly desirable in proof specimens.

Strike quality is an important factor for 2007 cents. Well-struck coins with full details, especially on Lincoln’s hair and the pillars of the Lincoln Memorial, are more desirable. Toning can also impact value, with naturally toned coins sometimes commanding a premium if the colors are attractive and even.
While not particularly rare, error coins from 2007 can be valuable. Look for doubled dies, off-center strikes, or wrong planchet errors. These unusual pieces often attract interest from error coin collectors and can be worth significantly more than their face value.
