Despite all the advertising claims of shortages and low mintages, the 2009 Lincoln Cent is worth but a cent.
Lincoln is pictured on usually pictured on the front of the penny. 2009 is the only date that he was on the back. These pennies are very common and worth only 1 cent.
The Lincoln wheat cent was minted 1909-1958. If that's not what you were asking, come back with a complete question.
It is worth one cent unless it is uncirculated?
Lincoln has been on the FRONT of the one cent coin from 1909 to the present. The Lincoln Memorial design was introduced in 1959 and if you look very closely you can see a tiny image of his statue between the center columns. So, to be very technical about it Lincoln's image was put on the back of the cent in 1959.
