The Lincoln cent (sometimes called the Lincoln penny) is a one-cent coin that has been struck by the United States Mint every year since 1909. The obverse or heads side was designed by Victor David Brenner , as was the original reverse, depicting two stalks of wheat (thus "wheat pennies", struck 1909–1958).
The penny was struck at the Denver Mint in 2001 and features the usual portrait of Abraham Lincoln on the front or obverse. What it doesn’t have is the normal Lincoln Memorial on the reverse.

This variety of the Lincoln cent was produced from 1998-2000, with 1999 being the rarest. As Spruce Crafts noted, the U.S. Mint mistakenly used a proof die to produce coins intended for circulation.
