1909 COMMEMORATIVE HONORS ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S BIRTH SCOTT #367-369

 On the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth in 1909, a 2 cent commemorative went on sale. Based on a statue in Chicago by Augustus St. Gaudens, the stamp was issued both perforate and imperforate, as well as on experimental blue tint paper.
  Interesting fact---1909 was also the first year of the Lincoln cent.
