Lincoln Cents Commemorative Series, Proof (2009)

To commemorate the bicentennial of President Abraham Lincoln's birth and the 100th anniversary of the first issuance of the Lincoln cent, the United States Mint issued four different one-cent coins in 2009. The themes for the reverse designs represent the four major aspects of President Lincoln's life: birth and early childhood in Kentucky (1809-1816), formative years in Indiana (1816-1830), professional life in Illinois (1830-1861), and presidency in Washington, DC (1861-1865).
