FREE: 2009 Lincoln Proof Cent Penny Collection in Gift Box with COA

The listing, 2009 Lincoln Proof Cent Penny Collection in Gift Box with COA has ended.

Each of the four designs represents a different aspect or theme in the life of Lincoln. These were the first commemorative Pennies in history. They were made only in 2009 and can never be made again.

The first coin honors Lincoln’s childhood in Kentucky; it features the log cabin where he was born in 1809.
The second is a tribute to Lincoln’s formative years in Indiana and shows young Lincoln reading.
The third depicts Lincoln’s professional life in Illinois and features him in front of the state capitol building in Springfield.
The final coin honors Lincoln’s Presidency; it shows the unfinished Capitol dome to symbolize a nation divided by the Civil War.

The Lincoln Penny was first made in 1909. As a 100th anniversary tribute, these 2009 Proof coins were made in the original .950 copper and .050 tin and zinc composition instead of the .975 zinc and .025 copper composition of modern circulating Pennies.
