Message:: [QUOTE="Mikjo0, post: 117014, member: 3565"]Here is all we know for sure. "The U.S. Mint is to issue four different Lincoln cents into circulation in 2009, one each quarter, to honor the Bicentennial of Lincoln's birth and the Centennial of the Lincoln cent. While the obverse will be unchanged, there will be a sequence of four reverses honoring the major periods of Lincoln's life: his birth and early childhood in Kentucky, his formative years in Indiana, his professional life in Illinois, and his presidency in Washington, DC. Also in 2009, the mint will be required to produced a collector version of the 2009 Lincoln cent containing the identical alloy of 95% copper and 5% zinc and tin as used in the 1909 issues. In 2010 and beyond, the reverse of the Lincoln cent will be changed to a design "emblematic of President Abraham Lincoln's preservation of the United States as a single and united country."<a href="http://www.thebullandbear.com/digest/0206-digest/0206-pmetals.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thebullandbear.com/digest/0206-digest/0206-pmetals.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.thebullandbear.com/digest/0206-digest/0206-pmetals.html</a>[/QUOTE]
