No. US cents have been made since 1793 but the Lincoln cent wasn't introduced until 1909.
The following designs were used before that:
- Indian head, 1859-1909 (actually Miss Liberty wearing a Native headdress, but everyone calls them Indian head pennies)
- Flying eagle, 1856-1858
- Various images of Miss Liberty, 1793-1857
The dates overlap because in some years two different designs were minted.
