Product Information

Generations of coin collectors have grown up with the Lincoln cent. Now, as the coin nears its 100th anniversary (and the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth), Q. David Bowers provides a detailed study of this great American classic. "Lincoln cents are among the most fascinating coins in the entire American series," writes Bowers. "Believe it or not, they also offer some of the greatest challenges." In this single volume you'll absorb the history of the coin's two classic reverse designs, take an inside look at the minting process, and learn how to grade your collection, including Proofs. Bowers shares tips on becoming a smarter buyer. He even gives a sneak preview of what the U.S. Mint has in store with a 2009 redesign. The book includes a thorough market analysis for each date and mintmark, and a special appendix on error coins. Read and enjoy, as you gain a better appreciation of America's most popular cent.

The lowly Lincoln Cent
What coin did you first collect? Most of the US collectors started with a Lincoln cent album or folder. They were common (for the most part), available, and if you went to the bank only cost 1 cent each! You could spend hours looking through you change, and might be rewarded with a minor treasure. This book takes you back in time, and reminds you of the year to year events that shaped the world from the first year 1909 to the last of the Memorial reverse.
