The proof and satin finish are made to commemorate 100 years of the Lincoln cent by using the original 95% copper alloy.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2009 Lincoln Cent (Professional Life - Bronze) is that it was the first coin in the Lincoln Cent series to feature a new design for the reverse side, which showcases a scene of Abraham Lincoln's professional life, specifically his time as a lawyer and legislator. This design change marked a significant departure from the traditional wheat ears and shield that had been featured on the reverse of the coin since its introduction in 1909.
