Owner Comments:

This coin celebrates Lincoln’s birth and childhood in Kentucky (1809-1816). Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in a log cabin similar to the one on this penny on his family's farm - -Testament to his humble beginnings.

This proof was created using special a coin blank that was fed into presses with specially prepared dies and struck multiple times. That’s how it got the sharp relief and gorgeous cameo effect.
