1909 was the centennial of Abraham Lincolns birth. The U.S. government has been minting Lincoln-head one cent coins for circulation from then to present. Designed by Victor David Brenner until 1958 , this coins original reverse depicted two stalks of wheat (shown). Then, from 1959-2008, an image of the Lincoln Memorial was struck on its reverse. In 2009 that was replaced by four commemorative designs marking the bicentennial of Lincolns birth. And, since 2010 , this reverse design has depicted a Union shield. Until 1982 the U.S. Mint struck pennies in 95% copper, except for 1943 . Youre purchasing a real copper coin!
