Recognizing the high demand for the New Lincoln Penny, the US Mint has decided to allow the public to buy the coins directly from the Mint. The coins will be made available in two roll sets. Each set will consist of one uncirculated roll of the cents from each of the two facilities making the coin, the mints in Philadelphia and Denver. The coin features the traditional obverse of the Victor D. Brenner bust of Abranam Lincoln with a reverse design entitled Birth and Early Childhood in Kentucky. The design depicts a cabin representative of the one in which Abraham Lincoln was born. The coins were released February 12, 2009 in Hodgenville, Kentucky (Lincoln's birthplace), and have been very difficult for collectors to obtain ever since.
