From Birth to Bicentennial and Beyond 1909 - 2010 

The Lincoln cent—America's longest-running and most popular coin—turned 100 years old in 2009. This year also marked the bicentennial of president Abraham Lincoln's birth. To celebrate, Congress authorized the U.S. Mint to release four new reverse ("tails") design's celebrating: Lincoln's birth and early childhood in Kentucky; his formative years in Indiana; his professional life in Illinois; and his presidency in Washington DC.

This attractive commemorative coin folder folder holds many different varieties of collectible Lincoln cents that have been minted in the past 100-plus years. Created for display and for long-term storage, this historic folder will keep your coins safe and show them off for future generations. 

This is a two page folder that when open is 14 1/4" wide by 9 3/8" high and folds in half to 7" x 9 3/8" and has a two-page fold-out information leaflet attached to the second page.
