New Lincoln Series
In 2009, the United States Mint will mint and issue four different one-cent coins in recognition of the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth and the 100th Anniversary of the production of the Lincoln cent. While the obverse will continue to bear the likeness of President Lincoln currently on the penny, the reverse will change to bear four different designs, each representing a different aspect of the life of Abraham Lincoln.
The themes for the reverse designs will be as follows:
- Lincoln's Birthday in Kentucky (1809-1816)
- Formative Years in Indiana (1816-1830)
- Professional Life in Illinois (1830-1861)
- Presidency in Washington, D.C. (1861-1865)
A new design will be issued approximately every 3 months in 2009. At the conclusion of the 2009 Lincoln One Cent Redesign Program, the 2010 (and beyond) one cent coin will feature a reverse design that will be emblematic of President Lincoln's preservation of the United States of America as a single and united country.
The upcoming redesign of the Lincoln Cent will be the first design change in 50 Years! The 2008 Cent will be the LAST Memorial available before the new series - and it will be a sleeper hit!!
