The 2019 West Point Proof Shield Penny is a significant release in the history of U.S. coinage, marking the first time the Lincoln Cent was struck at the West Point Mint.

Struck in proof condition, it boasts mirror-like surfaces and sharp details, highlighting the craftsmanship for which West Point is known.

As part of the U.S. Mint’s celebration of the Lincoln Cent’s 110th anniversary, this coin was not released into circulation; instead, it was included as a special addition in 2019 Mint proof sets. Its limited mintage and West Point’s “W” mintmark make this coin a prized collectible among numismatists, with unique appeal as a historic addition to the Lincoln Cent series.
