Lincoln Cent Coin Values Going Up
2009 is the year of Lincoln – it is the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth and the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln cent coin. That has been making Lincoln cent coin value go up.
In a recent article by Mark Fergusen, a Coin Values Market Analyst, he writes about how Lincoln cents are in a spotlight. In 2009, the United States Mint will be issuing four new lincoln cents with four new designs on the reverse of the lincoln cents. These coins will depict four different stages of Lincoln’s life from his home in Kentucky, growing up in Indiana, starting his professional career in Illinois, and culminating in the Presidency.
As Fergusen points out in his article, this spotlight is causing Lincoln cent coin values to go up. The price of the 1909-S V.D.B. lincoln is going up and so is the 1914-D lincoln cent. These two coins, the 1909-S V.D.B. lincoln cent and the 1914-D lincoln cent, are the key date lincoln cents. They are the bellweather for lincoln coin values generally. If the price on these key date lincoln cents is going up, most lincoln cents values will follow. However, typically they will not appreciate as much as the key date coins.
If you are a lincoln cent collector, prepare for prices on these coins to go up in 2009. As I mentioned in my article on the hottest coins to buy in 2009, the 2009 lincoln cents and lincoln cent collections generally will be the best coins in 2009.
Do you think that lincoln cent coin values will go up in 2009? Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

I am an avid early Lincoln Cent collector and have had the pleasure of having owned each key-date in higher grades. In 2005, my house was burglarized and my entire collection was targeted and stolen. My precious 1909-S V.D.B’s and 14-D’s were taken. I have been slowly re-acquiring the coins, but tough times in the economy and higher values make is challenging.
I strongly believe that the values in a normal economic climate would be rising at least 10% annually, but given the circumstances I am not sure. The new Lincoln is scarce and from what I have been told at the bank, the distribution was mixed into rolls of existing pennies. Odd. Usually, the new releases have been distributed in their own rolls and easily obtained at any bank. The new cent may be one to collect and hoard. I have my own blog dedicated to the 1909-S V.D.B. which is my favorite coin of all time. I would love to learn more myself, so please feel free to contribute. The link is under my signature.
Thanks,
Joe Lisciandro
