In the spirit of a cameo necklace, this Lincoln penny locket is a show stopper. It hangs on a strong, antique brass chain that slips over your head--no clasp to worry about it slipping down.

In 1909, Abraham Lincoln was the first historical figure to grace a U.S. coin when he was portrayed on the one cent to commemorate his 100th birthday. Fifty years later, the Lincoln Memorial was added to the reverse side of the penny, complete with a minuscule representation of Lincoln’s statue inside.
