The Artistry Behind the Coins

Obverse (Heads) - All Five Coins: The 2009 Lincoln cent obverse features the classic portrait of Abraham Lincoln by Victor David Brenner, first introduced in 1909 on the centennial of Lincoln's birth. The inscription "IN GOD WE TRUST" appears above, "LIBERTY" to the left, the date "2009" to the right, and the "P" Philadelphia Mint mark below the date. This is the same iconic portrait that has graced the cent for over a century.

Reverse Design 1 - Birth and Early Childhood (Kentucky): Depicts a log cabin representing Lincoln's humble origins near Hodgenville, Kentucky, where he was born on February 12, 1809. The design by Richard Masters and Jim Licaretz captures the frontier simplicity of Lincoln's earliest years.

Reverse Design 2 - Formative Years (Indiana): Shows a young Lincoln reading by firelight while seated on a log, symbolizing his self-education and intellectual drive during his years in Indiana. Designed by Charles Vickers, this scene reflects the determination that would define his character.

Reverse Design 3 - Professional Life (Illinois): Features Lincoln standing before the Illinois State Capitol, representing his years as a lawyer and state legislator in Springfield. Designed by Joel Iskowitz and Don Everhart, it honors the professional foundation that launched his political career.

Reverse Design 4 - Presidency (Washington D.C.): Depicts the partially constructed U.S. Capitol dome as it appeared during Lincoln's presidency, symbolizing a nation still being built and unified. Designed by Susan Gamble and Joseph Menna, it is a powerful image of leadership during the Civil War era.

Why Collectors Choose This Piece

The 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial series was a one-year-only issue, making it a permanent fixture in any serious Lincoln cent collection. Assembling all four reverse designs from a single mint in one holder is the most satisfying way to display the complete narrative arc of Lincoln's life - from a Kentucky log cabin to the White House. The addition of a fifth obverse coin gives this set a unique display dimension, letting the portrait stand on its own alongside the four reverse chapters. Presented in a Whitman holder, this set is ready to display, store, or gift without any additional supplies needed.
