It's indeed an incredible coin, and not just for its longevity.

Tony Richardson writes:
"At the outset of writing ‘The Lincoln Cent Century,' as many collectors may have expected, I considered going in depth on famous doublings and mintmark errors, but instead I wanted this book to focus more on the inception and distinctions of the Lincoln Cent; the history of intentional varieties; the reason they were made - or not made - at particular mints; and why certain designs and metals were chosen - and all this from a contemporary standpoint.
I also wanted new collectors to know they can acquire meaningful Lincoln-Cent varieties without feeling they have to chase after rare errors; and I wanted seasoned collectors to be enlightened on the coin's background - details they may not have previously considered. My ultimate goal is that "The Lincoln Cent Century" - which includes Lincoln Cent mintage figures - makes for a comprehensive resource that serves as a history book, a reference guide and a fascinating read for years to come."
