Good to Know
The 12 History of the Lincoln Cent coins include the following:

• #1. 1909 First Wheat Ears Reverse - Designed by Victor D. Brenner, marked the first US coin to feature a real person.
• #2. 1943 Steel Penny - A wartime emergency issue, struck to conserve copper for ammunition during WWII. Made of zinc-coated steel, these "steelies" are easily identifiable by their silver color and magnetic properties.
• #3. Shell Case Penny (1944-1946) - From 1944 to 1946, Lincoln cents were primarily made from recycled copper shell casings, returning to a copper alloy after the 1943 steel cents. This wartime measure conserved vital materials and gave these coins a unique place in history.
• #4. 1958 Last Wheat Ears Reverse - The last year of the Lincoln "Wheat Penny" design. After nearly 50 years, this iconic coin made way for the Lincoln Memorial reverse in 1959.
• #5. 1959 First Lincoln Memorial Reverse - Debuted to commemorate Lincoln's 150th birthday, replacing the Wheat cent reverse.
• #6. 2008 Last Lincoln Memorial Reverse - Marked the final year of the Lincoln Memorial reverse design that had been in use since 1959.
• #7. 2009 Early Childhood Reverse - The first of four Bicentennial designs, celebrating Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday. Its reverse features a log cabin, symbolizing his humble Kentucky beginnings, making it a unique one-year issue.
• #8. 2009 Formative Years Reverse - The second in the Bicentennial series, portrays a young Abraham Lincoln reading while taking a break from rail-splitting in Indiana. This design highlights his self-education and early work ethic.
• #9. 2009 Professional Life Reverse - The third in the Bicentennial series, showcases Abraham Lincoln as a young lawyer in Illinois, standing before the Old State Capitol building. This design highlights his legal career and political ascent before the presidency.
• #10. 2009 Presidency Reverse - The last of the Lincoln Bicentennial designs; depicts an unfinished U.S. Capitol dome. This symbolizes the nation's struggle and Lincoln's leadership during the Civil War, a period of immense challenge and progress.
• #11. 2010 First Union Shield Reverse - Symbolizes Lincoln's preservation of the United States as a single, united country.
• #12. 2025 Cent Coin (Union Shield Reverse) - Widely believed to be the last penny produced in the US. The Treasury Department has confirmed it will stop minting cents once existing blank inventories are exhausted, citing high production costs.
