The Lincoln cent is America's longest-running and most popular coin. It turned 100 years old in 2009. That year also marked the bicentennial of President Abraham Lincoln's birth. The U.S. Mint released four new reverse ("tails") designs, celebrating
1. Lincoln's birth and early childhood in Kentucky;
2. his formative years in Indiana;
3. his professional life in Illinois; and
4. his presidency in Washington, D.C.
Now you can learn all about these historic coins, and more. This attractive commemorative book and coin album is designed to hold many different varieties of collectible Lincoln cents that have been minted in the past 100-plus years. Build your own personalized coin collection—you'll find many of them in pocket change! Others will require more hunting. When you're done you'll have a valuable coin collection, and you'll be able to tell each coin's story.
