Is there a reason why the 2009 Presidency Lincoln Penny is the only Penny that has the word "of" in lower case letters instead of all capital letters?
All Other Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Coins Have The Words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" In Capital Letters.

Probably to help balance the curvature of United States of America with the sloping roof of the Capitol building. If you look closer, the U of United is higher than the second A of America.

Different artists with different ideas.
This. We artists generally have the option, in this case, of using upper or lower case letters, in the word, "of."
