2009 Lincoln Proof Collection - 5 pc - Lincoln Cents & Commemorative Dollar

Abraham Lincoln was one of the greatest presidents our proud nation has ever had and it was on this very day, November 6th, 1860, that good ole’ Honest Abe was elected to be the 16th president in the history of the United States. While his legacy and the myth of his life was well established by this point, it was his actions during his presidency that led us through the bloodiest era of United States history & saw us emerge as a stronger, more unified nation.

In honor of his many achievements, the United States Mint placed the portrait of Lincoln on both the five dollar bill and the one cent piece. What many forgot is that Honest Abe also had four special one-of-a-kind designed cents released in 2009, alongside his very own silver dollar! We have created a special collection bringing together all 5 of these special edition Abraham Lincoln coins into one stunning Centennial Proof Set perfect for any collection!

After more than 100 years in circulation, the Lincoln Cent holds the record for the longest tenured coin in U.S. history! In celebration of this iconic achievement, the U.S. Mint released FOUR new Lincoln Cent designs in 2009. Each of the four coins would have their own distinct design celebrating a different part of Abraham Lincoln's storied life.

These special release Lincoln Cents were only in production for 13 WEEKS and will never be minted ever again! That makes these four Lincoln Cents the shortest run of coins in the history of the United States Mint!

Birth and Early Childhood - This cent features the log cabin design symbolic of Abraham Lincoln's birthplace and childhood

Formative Years in Indiana - This cents design depicts a young Abraham Lincoln reading while taking a break from working as a “rail splitter” in Indiana.

Did you know? These coins not only celebrated 100 years of Lincoln Cent circulation, they also celebrated the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth.

The United States Mint also minted a very special 90% silver dollar in honor of this momentous occasion, and collectors simply loved it! With a mintage of just 325,000 this dollar was a quick sellout! This RARE Proof Silver dollar's obverse design bears the majestic image of President Lincoln, while the reverse bears the final 43 words of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address spelled out in capital letters accompanied by Lincoln's signature.
