Yep. There were four different reverses commemorating the life of Abraham Lincoln for 2009 cents. 2009 is the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln Cent and the bicentennial for Lincoln's birth. |

And personally, I think the one pictured there is the coolest looking of the four.

Some of those have errors. Look for extra fingers on his left hand....

@Buddy: I thought Lincoln just had 8 fingers on each hand, and the history books forgot to mention that... :-p

@Penny4Me: Thanks, but my dad bought me one of those 2 years ago (I think. I don't think it was in 2009) for my Birthday from a coin shop he visits (he is a stamp man). Awesome set though.
