The Lincoln Cent was introduced to the Americans in 1909, the 100th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth, and it is the current one cent coin of the US Dollar. The cent was designed by Victor D. Brenner and was the first circulating coin with an image of a president.
Many people wonder why Lincoln’s portrait is facing right when all other presidents on US coins face left. Well, there is no conspiracy theory here and Lincoln doesn’t face because of a law, but only because Brenner used a portrait of Lincoln that was facing right…
Before the new cents hit circulation, this is your chance to get the 1934 – 2008 Lincoln Cents collection. This is a massive coin set of 223 BU and Proof Lincoln Cents, magnificently displayed in 2 Dansco Supreme Albums. This historic US coin collection is sure to increase in popularity as we celebrate Lincoln's 200th Birthday and the Lincoln Cent's 100th Anniversary in 2009.
