Following the special Bicentennial 2009 pennies program, the U.S. Mint redesigned the reverse of the Lincoln cent. The new reverse – designed by Lyndall Bass – depicts a “Union Shield” to represent President Lincoln’s preservation of the United States as a single, unified nation. The obverse continued Victor D. Brenner’s original Lincoln portrait design from 1909. These pennies with a shield on the back make a great addition to any collection, and every order is backed by our 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

Shield Pennies (2010-2025): A Brief History

The reverse design of Lincoln shield pennies has several symbolic meanings. First, the shield itself has 13 vertical stripes, each representing one of the 13 original colonies. Additionally, the horizontal bar across the top represents Congress. There are also two sets of initials on the one cent shield penny: “LB” for designer Lyndall Bass and “JFM” for sculptor Joseph F. Menna who translated the design into a coinable model.
