What do Lincoln and an Indian Princess
have in common? They both appeared on 1909 pennies!
History rarely provides such perfect bookends, but 1909 delivered a numismatic one! In a single year, America witnessed both the final Indian Head penny and the debut of the Lincoln cent, forever changing how we honor our greatest leaders on currency. This historic two-coin collection marks the first time America’s coinage changed from featuring symbolic figures to real presidential portraits.
The 1909 Indian Head penny was issued first, featuring Lady Liberty in a Native American headdress—a design dating back to the the Civil War era. Just months later, the 1909 Lincoln cent was struck, bearing the first real person ever featured on circulating U.S. currency.
Now you can own both pieces of this historic event in one remarkable collection. Each coin is guaranteed to be in Very Good or better condition and comes encapsulated for protection with a Certificate of Authenticity. With the pending discontinuation of the penny, owning this complete 1909 story becomes even more significant. Don’t wait, order now!
