This is what the U.S. Mint has to say:
In 2009, the United States Mint issued four different pennies in recognition not only of the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, but also the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln cent, first appearing in 1909. The themes on the reverses represent the four major aspects of Lincoln’s life:
Birth and Early Childhood in Kentucky (1809-1816)
Formative Years in Indiana (1816-1830)
Professional Life in Illinois (1830-1861)
Presidency in Washington, D.C. (1861-1865)
On this coin, the US Capitol building’s dome is still under construction, as it was during Lincoln’s term in office. The dome continued to rise as the Civil War raged and the Union struggled to remain united.
The war began just after Lincoln took office in 1861. During his second year as president, Lincoln declared all slaves free in the rebel territory through the Emancipation Proclamation. Lincoln was elected for a second term in 1864 and the war finally came to an end the following year.
Just 5 days after the war ended, President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated while watching a play in Washington. Army doctors worked all night to save him, but he died the next morning at the age of 56. Before he was buried in Springfield, Illinois, his body lay in state, visited by thousands of mourners, under the Capitol’s newly-completed dome.
Obverse (heads): Shows the familiar Victor David Brenner likeness of President Lincoln featured since 1909.
Reverse (tails): Features the half finished United States Capitol dome.
