rsmith New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/13/2023 6:10 pm I have a 2018 Lincoln Shield that is silver in color and will stick to a magnet, obviously some type of steel. has anyone ever seen one? The shield stamp is slightly off center as well to the lower right. I just put the 2019 penny in for color reference. Report this Post to the Staff
