It is quite poetic that a man who came from such humble origins has his visage reproduced on such a large scale but in the most meager denomination: the penny. And what a wonderful gift it is to any eager collector, from a young child to a seasoned numismatic, that a penny collection can be so readily established. This book, while a grand review of various vintages of Lincoln cents, also provides a biography of the great man himself. Happy Birthday, Mr. President !
