The Official Best Book on Lincoln Cents
I have collected coins for several years and Lincoln Cents are my favorite. This book is the best work that I have read on the subject. Bowers lets his decades of knowledge flow onto paper without being boring. I highly recommend this outstanding book.

Great book, a lot of detail not only in lincoln cents, but in the history of the American coinage. It explains the creation of the lincoln cent, notable changes, a summery of all dates and the amount of coins in a certain grade certified by the third party graders. This book is not only a good reference book: It is a good read!!!

A great resource for any numismatist focusing on Lincoln Cents. It brings me back to my childhood because like many others, my journey through the hobby started with a little blue folder full of Lincoln Cents.
