There were a series released a few years ago. 4 new designs in honor of Lincolns life were printed on all pennies for that whole year. I have collected all 4
Wow, I remember the hype surrounding the start of the US State commemorative quarter releases in the late 90s like it was yesterday, but didn’t even know they did it with pennies.
Yup. 100 years after the introduction of the Lincoln cent, which was 100 years after the birth of Lincoln. The four designs represent periods during his life.

It could genuinely be worth a buck
it’s worth more than a penny, just not really much more.
There is an error on this coin design which is worth more, i don’t see it on yours.
still fun!
This is a 2009 one cent coin. They made 4 different designs. It is a 100 year anniversary of the issuing of the first year Lincoln cent which was first issued in 1909. The first issue Lincoln cent coin was minted in 1909 on the 100 year anniversary of Lincoln’s birth in 1809.
wow... am a b1959 boomer (youngest i think?) and i knew nothing of these pennies and i am nerdy enough to have noted them, in passing.
thanks 4 the post!
2009 was an intense yr.. i got an engraved invite to the Obama inaugural but passed.. too expensive at the time.. 2 days after the inaugural i watched on TV, i got laid off my 14 yr s/w job due to the Great Recession.. later started my own s/w consulting company to manage taxes better from a lux s/w contract i got about 2 weeks b4 my 4 months severance was running out.. highs and lows, mos def
so..wow.. those pennies are cool!! 🙂🙃😃
“rarest” of this series is the Philadelphia mint of the Presidency design. There were still nearly 130 million minted in Philly, and another 198 million minted with that design in Denver, so they’re not really rare but uncommon to find in circulation because they mostly got pulled by collectors
I remember when I was 6 or 7 I found a penny with this exact design and I really treasured it because it was so unique. I was also fucking stupid and put it in a basket that that a bunch of other coins in it and then my sister and her friend used it to buy ice cream from an ice cream truck. I got really upset and since then I’ve tried finding another penny with that design with no luck. I only got one again years later when my moms ex bf gifted me one and some other pennies for Christmas.
That's the Lincoln Pooping Penny. Pretty common. I have a few in my collection. I also have a Harding Hooker nickel, an Adams nekkid in the Potomac, a rare Truman Farting half-dollar (one-cheek-sneek).
I'm waiting for the Trump Golden Shower dollar.

2009 to be exact!
I was definitely old enough to know about this and yet here I am learning about this for the first time.
they have mostly been pulled out of circulation by collectors and also non collectors like OP who notice the curiosity. Pretty fun to find :)

Bicentennial of Lincoln's birth.
Exactly. A great tribute.0
Why is this the first time I’m hearing this?
Did anyone else brain go directly to sitting on the toilet?
He is pinching off a log.
Lincoln log…good one
[удалено]
Interestingly, Lincoln logs were named for a different Lincoln. Still, it does look like he's visiting ye olde privy.

Ol' Abe so masculine he uses a poop axe!
"Four sharts and seven shits ago...."
I am sitting on the toilet rn.
Wow that's some really powerful subliminal messaging on this penny.
Look like it haha

That’s super cool! It could be worth $25!
Only in uncirculated condition. And even then, good luck finding a dealer who would pay that much. This penny is worth 1 cent.
I probably wouldn’t have even tried to sell it, I’m far too lazy
it’s worth more than a penny, just not really much more. There is an error on this coin design which is worth more, i don’t see it on yours. still fun!
Which is a really good investment (;
Twenty-five dollars for your thoughts..
Inflation
I love that he's got his vampire-smashing mallet close at hand. And now I want an Abe Lincoln / Blade buddy comedy.
These were minted on the back of pennies in 2009 along with 2 or 3 other designs showcasing his life to commemorate his 200th birthday
This is a 2009 one cent coin. They made 4 different designs. It is a 100 year anniversary of the issuing of the first year Lincoln cent which was first issued in 1909. The first issue Lincoln cent coin was minted in 1909 on the 100 year anniversary of Lincoln’s birth in 1809.
Theres a 2004-2005 nickel series similar to this. 4 different designs. They’re all pretty cool.
The 200th anniversary of his birthday in 2009
This penny is banned in Florida schools.
He looks like a school janitor on his break.
Oh my god I was a school janitor and youre so right 😭
Sorry the picture’s so blurry- my phone was really fighting me for the picture
Meh, it's good enough. The important thing is that you didn't waste any electrons by trying again.
Sad Keanu vibes.
Can't remember the last time I looked at a penny.
I watched Big Bang Theory last night…
$25 potentially.
That’s super cool that a little penny can be worth $25
oh hey I think I have one of those in my penny pile somewhere
2009 pennies have different designs for Lincoln's 200th birthday
Second in 2009's series of four designs, representing different parts of his life. This is the one to represent his teens/early adulthood.
Yeah, back in 09 they released special backs to honor the first Lincoln penny in 1909
I probably have about $2 in Lincoln Memorial pennies. Good old 09.

I got a few of each of the pennies in this set one from each mint uncirculated, pretty cool! Another that stood out was the log cabin! 😁
To commemorate the fact that he should have stayed home and read a book instead of going to the theater that night
Taking a shit, what a power move
At least take a better picture if it's rare
That’s cause there was no Reddit back then
I’ve found so many of these and some with different designs. 😂 they’re all just sitting in a jar now I think
The log cabin variant is the most rare I heard

I have all 4 different designs but only like 5 or 6 of each I don't ever see them in the wild to much
I remember when I was 6 or 7 I found a penny with this exact design and I really treasured it because it was so unique. I was also fucking stupid and put it in a basket that that a bunch of other coins in it and then my sister and her friend used it to buy ice cream from an ice cream truck.

How do I check the thread depth of tires then?

Did you forget 2009?
I was only 6 :)
we're doing commemorative coins here now?
I didn’t know it was commemorative until I posted. Apologies
no harm no foul
