Penny to Undergo First Design Change in 50 Years
United States Mint Director to Unveil New 2009 Penny Designs Honoring Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial
United States Mint Director Ed Moy and the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission will hold a news conference at the Lincoln Memorial on Monday, September 22, to unveil the 2009 Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial One-Cent designs-the first time the image on the penny has changed in 50 years.
In 2009, the United States Mint will introduce into circulation a series of four different one-cent coins in recognition of the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth and the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln cent. While the obverse (heads side) will continue to bear the likeness of President Lincoln currently on the penny, the reverse (tails side) will change to bear four different designs, each representing a different phase in the life of Abraham Lincoln. The aspects of his life to be honored will be his birth and early childhood in Kentucky, his formative years in Indiana, his professional life in Illinois, and his Presidency in Washington, D.C.
The first redesigned penny will be issued on the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth, February 12, 2009. The remaining redesigned pennies will be released at intervals throughout 2009.
WHAT: Unveiling of the four designs for the 2009 Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial
One-Cent Redesigns
WHO: United States Mint Director Ed Moy
Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission Co-Chairman Harold Holzer
Abraham Lincoln Re-enactor
WHEN: 10 a.m. ET, Monday, September 22, 2008
WHERE: Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Plaza
Parking available on Ohio Drive and West Basin Drive
Note: Images of the new 2009 Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial One-Cent designs will be available online at 10 a.m Monday, September 22, 2008. The link to be announced.
February 12th release date.

1. Will this attract newbies to the hobby like the state quarter program did?
2. Is it possible that the State quarter interest trickeld down and affected the price of silver Washington quarters?
3. Do you see lincoln cents appreciating significantly in value because of this new design launch?

<< <i>It would be nice to see "VDB" back on the coin for this year.
Joe >>
Not too sound too sarcastic, but "VDB" shouldn' t appear on these coins unless someone with those initials designed these coins. It would be quite a coincidence since this is a redesign......
Otherwise, why not VDB, the portrait will remain?
<< <i>VDB will appear on the reproduction of the 09 cent that are doing for collectors (The coin that will be the same composition as the 09)
Otherwise, why not VDB, the portrait will remain? >>
Are you sure about this?
The way I read the Presidential Coin Act, which is what introduced the design changes, is that they are only required to duplicate the Obverse of Brenners original design which did not have the initials.
<< <i>SEC. 303. REDESIGN OF REVERSE OF 1-CENT COINS AFTER 2009.
The design on the reverse of the 1-cent coins issued after
December 31, 2009, shall bear an image emblematic of President
Lincoln’s preservation of the United States of America as a single
and united country.
SEC. 304. NUMISMATIC PENNIES WITH THE SAME METALLIC CONTENT
AS THE 1909 PENNY.
The Secretary of the Treasury shall issue 1-cent coins in 2009
with the exact metallic content as the 1-cent coin contained in
1909 in such number as the Secretary determines to be appropriate
for numismatic purposes.
SEC. 305. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.
It is the sense of the Congress that the original Victor David
Brenner design for the 1-cent coin was a dramatic departure from
previous American coinage that should be reproduced, using the
original form and relief of the likeness of Abraham Lincoln, on
the 1-cent coins issued in 2009. >>
It will be interesting to see what they actually do.
The name is LEE!

Wow, thats cool too
# 1 YES
#2 YES
# 3 Oh YES
I want a 2009-S-VDB
<< <i>yes yes

I seriously doubt that this coin will be produced after reading the Presidential Dollars Act.
The name is LEE!
<< <i>yes yes
I want a 2009-S-VDB
Just what I was thinking, it would be real cool. Maybe a multi holder with a 1909 and a 2009.

So that means this year is the last year for Lincoln Memorial cents?
That also is cool.

<< <i>So that means this year is the last year for Lincoln Memorial cents? >>
Not necessarily. I seem to remember similar wording for the new(er) Jefferson nickel reverse, which is just a retooled Monticello, not even the original design, which would have been better...

If they continue them the 2010 might be steel instead of zinc.
