Lincoln Cent Designs: A Comprehensive Pictorial
 | By Numismatic News
September 28, 2007 |
Designs for three of four themes proposed for the reverse of 2009 Lincoln cents
to honor Abraham Lincoln's life were endorsed by the Citizens Coinage Advisory
Committee when it met Sept. 25.
CCAC recommended designs to honor his humble beginnings, formative years in Indiana and professional life in Illinois. It did not endorse a design depicting Lincoln's presidency.
The four coins to be issued in 2009 celebrate a different aspect of Lincoln's life and
mark the bicentennial of his birth. The CCAC hopes the U.S. Mint designers will
go back to the drawing board and present more designs to mark his
presidency.
For a comprehensive look at the different designs set before the CCAC, see below.
