Notes: Four different pennies were created and issued for the bicentennial and centennial for the Lincoln cent. The 2009 represents the professional life of President Lincoln which spanned 1830-1861. The obverse or front of the coin has the inscriptions; IN GOD WE TRUST, LIBERTY, 2009. While the reverse (back of the penny) has the inscriptions. United States of America, E Pluribus Unum, and Once Cent. In terms of errors not many have been found but time will likely tell a different story. So far only a few Double Die strikes are known.

How much is a 2009 Penny Professional Life worth?
In Average Circulated (AC) condition it's worth around 1 cent, one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $1 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say Average Circulated, we mean in a similar condition to other coins circulated in 2009, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. *** [?].
