The Artistry Behind the Coins
Obverse: Each coin bears sculptor Victor David Brenner's timeless portrait of President Abraham Lincoln, the same design that graced the first Lincoln cent in 1909. Look closely and you'll find Brenner's initials "VDB" subtly placed on the design, a detail that connects these modern commemoratives to their century-old predecessor. The profile captures Lincoln's dignified bearing and the strength of character that defined his presidency.
Reverse - Birth and Early Childhood: A humble log cabin symbolizes Lincoln's modest beginnings in Kentucky, reminding us that greatness can emerge from the simplest origins.
Reverse - Formative Years: A young Lincoln taking a break from rail-splitting, book in hand, illustrates his dedication to self-education and intellectual growth during his Indiana years.
Reverse - Professional Life: The Illinois State Capitol represents Lincoln's rise as a lawyer and statesman, the foundation of his political career.
Reverse - Presidency: The iconic half-finished U.S. Capitol dome symbolizes the nation under construction during the Civil War, a powerful reminder of Lincoln's leadership during America's most challenging period.
Why Collectors Choose This Set
The 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial cents represent a unique moment in U.S. coinage history. For only the second time in 100 years, the Lincoln cent reverse was redesigned - and unlike the 2010 Union Shield design that followed, these four commemorative designs were issued for just one year. This 8-coin set gives you both mint marks of each design, making it a complete representation of this historic series.
Whether you're building a comprehensive Lincoln cent collection, teaching younger collectors about American history, or preserving a milestone anniversary issue, this set offers exceptional value. The Gem Brilliant Uncirculated condition ensures these coins retain their original beauty, while the loose format allows you to integrate them seamlessly into your existing albums and folders.
