bmason717 Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 03/08/2023 1:34 pm I know this penny probably isn't valuable - worth 1 cent, but it's one of the prettiest ones that I have found in my penny rolls. I noticed the back is different, something I haven't seen before. I could probably google it - but I rather get professional input. :) Report this Post to the Staff

Parnelli917 Valued Member United States 392 Posts	Posted 03/08/2023 1:44 pm This was a special year for Lincoln cents. It was celebrating the Bicentennial of Lincoln's birth and there were four different reverse designs depicting various phases of his life. This one is called "Formative Years". I like to keep these, but you are right. In circulated condition, they are worth about a penny. Report this Post to the Staff

bmason717 Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 03/08/2023 6:44 pm Bobby, thank you so much. I don't appear to have email messages here in the forum, probably because I am new. I did reply to the email sent from the forum on your behalf. :) Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/09/2023 7:44 pm Why that year? 1909 was the first Lincoln Cents. 100 years after Abe's Birth year. 2009 is 200 years after his birth year. Report this Post to the Staff
