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.
