The listing, Beautiful Collectible 2009 "Lincoln Professional Life" Penny, Limited Edition! has ended.
In 1909 the penny changed from Indian Head to Lincoln to commemorate the Centennial of his birth. 50 years later the back of that coin changed from the wheat design to the Lincoln Memorial design. Another 50 years later in 2009 a special Lincoln set was produced to commemorate the Bicentennial of Lincolns birth and the 100th year of the Lincoln Cent. These were authorized in 2005 by President George Bush. These were produced for only a year before the reverse of the coins changed again 2010. Sadly the collectors got almost all of these very collectible coins. I just went through a hoard of pennies collected over a 30 year period and managed to secure a few very fine examples of these coins from that hoard. This is the nicest coin of this variety found! Barely circulated in very nice shape. Very difficult to find! There were four varieties produced. This one shows his "Professional Life" standing in front of a US Building..This one would easily grade "AU" Almost Un-circulated. Produced in only one year with few reaching circulation these are a must for any collection! Make a great gift or investment. Free Shipping!
