Historical Context: The 2009 Lincoln cent was part of a series of four different designs issued to commemorate the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth. This particular design represents Lincoln's birth and childhood. Collector Value: The collector value of a 2009 BU Lincoln cent depends on the specific design, mint mark, and the demand from collectors. Being a "First Day of Issue" coin may add some value, but the retail price of $76 seems high unless it has a high grade from a reputable grading service. Strike Type: The strike type is likely business strike, as it was intended for general circulation. Grading: The grading is not explicitly stated, but the "BU" designation suggests it would grade highly, likely MS-63 or higher.
