Abraham Lincoln Penny Portrait Kit

A fun-filled activity where you create your own priceless work of art.

A Penny Portrait is a fun-filled way to use those pennies you've been collecting over the years to make a unique work of art. Each kit includes an 18" x 24" poster of Abe Lincoln made from images of actual pennies. The poster is suitable for framing as is, but can also be used as a template to glue on your own pennies creating a visually stunning copper masterpiece. Seriously, it's an eye-catching conversation piece. You simply match your pennies to one of the four shades on the poster and glue them on. It is really that simple.

Each Penny Portrait kit includes:

• 18" x 24" Penny Portrait
• Genuine 1943 Steel Penny
• Assembly Tips & Tricks Handout
• Booklet with facts and info about: Abraham Lincoln, Lencoln Pennies & Coin Collecting, Chemistry Experiments with Pennies, Impressionist Art & Optical Illusions, & Much, Much, More!

What's the story with this steel penny?
In 1943, for one year only, the U.S. Mint produced pennies out of steel to save copper for the war effort. You get your own little unique piece of U.S. history included with each Penny Portrait!

To complete the portrait, you will need a total of 846 pennies (not included):

• 349 - Shiny New Pennies
• 112 - Lightly Used Pennies
• 97 - Well Used Pennies
• 288 - Old as Dirt Pennies

On the plus side, you know your finished work of art will be worth at least $8.46.
