In 2009, the United States Mint issued four different pennies as part of the Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Program. The program recognized not only of the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, but also the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln cent, first appearing in 1909. The themes on the reverses represent the four major aspects of Lincoln’s life:
- Birth and Early Childhood in Kentucky (1809-1816) – (Pictured In The Top Left)
- Formative Years in Indiana (1816-1830) – (Pictured In The Top Right)
- Professional Life in Illinois (1830-1861) – (Pictured In The Bottom Left)
- Presidency in Washington, D.C. (1861-1865) – (Pictured In The Bottom Right)
Below I placed pictures of the reverse side of the 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial Penny. The first side is the circulation version, the flipside of the coin is the proof strike. In case you didn’t know, to see the flip side of any of my coins on this website, all you need to do is hover over the coin and it will flip around.
