Lincoln cent

2009 Lincoln Bicentennial cents For one year only, the cent carried four different backs marking 200 years since Lincoln's birth: his birthplace in Kentucky, the young Lincoln studying, Lincoln standing before the Illinois State Capitol, and the US Capitol under construction during his presidency. That makes a ready-made four-coin set from nothing but change, and a satisfying one, because the designs are easy to tell apart at a glance. Look for the 2009 date on the front and then check which scene is on the back.
