The Lincoln nickel design probably the most popular of these issues. This is the only Lincoln head pattern produced by the U.S. Mint.

In addition to being struck in nickel, examples were struck in copper and/or bronze J487-J488/P576. They are known on both thin 58 grain and thick 72 grain planchets.

Slightly over a dozen are believed to exist in either metal.
