Lincoln Formative Years in Indiana (1816-1830)-The second the designs of new penny pays tribute to young people of Abraham Lincoln in Indiana, where he worked as a splitter rail to rail. In the picture, painted and sculpted by United States Mint sculptor-engraver Charles Vickers, Lincoln is depicted reading during a break from what must have been very hard work! Can you imagine how much force would need swing of that type of mallet to Division that thick enough to record the way it is portrayed the fact? I love the pretty young Lincoln's portrait, with his height, lanky frame relaxed as he caresses the book between the arms. I look forward to seeing how this project appears on real money!
