In another thread it was being discussed what LP stands for. I thought it was interesting enough to have it's own thread in the main section, to get the most opinions. 2009 has four designs LP 1 - Birth and Early Childhood - Log cabin LP 2 - Formative years - Rail splitter LP 3 - Professional Life - Lincoln in front of Illinois state capitol LP 4 - Presidency - U.S. capitol in Lincoln time. In the other thread there are a couple suggestions Lesson plan Lincoln PennyLincoln Presidential Does anyone have a link to the official meaning. Or where it can be looked up? |

Well, I think LP1, LP2, LP3 and LP4 are product designations from the Mint as those appear on the white boxes issued from the Mint when purchasing rolls.
Now as to what LP stands for... yeah, my bet would be "Lincoln Presidency" or something similar.

It is Lincoln Penny. Although it is officially a cent, the mint has never shied away from using the term penny. |

if LP does stand for " Lincoln Penny"...why do so many poster - have issues - when someone refers to them as a "penny"...not to mention that every $25.00 box I have gotten states right on the box "PENNY's"? ? |

Funny that the U.S. Mint would call a cent a penny.

It's just hard to believe no one knows the "true" meaning of LP. I'm hoping for lesson plan myself. At least that one has a good story to go with it.

One thing to be sure of. LP is the the product code the mint used
for ordering the rolls of 2009 Lincoln cents.

I think "LP#" might stand for "LINE PRODUCTION" or a similar term. Relating to any or all designations, such as; time, machine lines, date, dies, or maybe line-pressure, and of course, Lincoln Penny with the # referring to the above designations. It must be a separation code in any respect, otherwise there'd be no mint population difference. It is weird that LP4 has such a great difference in its production population. Maybe those dies wore out or broke sooner than others. OR; it may have been holidays and vacations being taken. Who knows? Happy hunting all! Tony |
