noun

Informal slang for a US one-cent coin bearing Lincoln's image.
"Most of the other older coins are AU+ with a few XF45's and some MS coins, depending on value. For example, it would have been silly to look for an AU Buff Nick when the 1938-D MS63 was under $20. Same thing with the IHCs, Lincs, etc."
— Barry, Contest Thread - Eric Babula (2006)
"He dug a few old lincs out of the couch cushions."
