Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Coins

Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Coins

Authorized under the Presidential One Dollar Coin Act, the Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent program (2009) commemorates Lincoln’s life with four new reverse designs signifying four biographic periods: his birthplace in Kentucky; Lincoln as a youth studying; Lincoln standing in front of the Illinois State Capitol; and the U.S. Capitol under construction during his presidency. The CFA most recently reviewed the coins in this series in January 2008.
