Background story :
The Lincoln Wheat cent series was first introduced in 1909 and remained in circulation until 1958. In 1909, President Theodore Roosevelt wanted to mint a coin with Lincoln's profile. The penny displayed Lincoln’s profile on the obverse to honor the 16th President's 100th birthday. Before then, American cents—indeed, all American coins—had never depicted a real person before.
