Lincoln Head Penny
On Abraham Lincoln's birthday, they are going to bring out the new Lincoln head penny. I saw it on television tonight and it is pretty neat. It has 4 different backsides on the pennies with Lincoln on the front. They gave a short documentary of how the Lincoln penny came to get started after the Indianhead penny. It was very interesting. During the war, they made that batch of pennies that turned black because they didn't have enough copper and I believe they said they used nickel instead. I've forgotten for sure what metal it was but I sure remember the pennies. I wonder if all the collectors have collected them up now as I haven't seen one in a very long time.
