it is seldom that a newer design is better than an older design, especially with cents. Agree! That's why I wish the Indian Head cent were a part of this poll, if we're pitting cents against cents, bring in the oldies That aside, wheatie all the way Edited by PNWType

I like the memorial reverse. If you take the value aspect out of the question, the memorial reverse is a better design. I don't like the shield, btw.

Wheaties are generally more valuable but I have very few in my collection. If I had a 55 doubled die it would be one of my very favorites. I have far less Memorials.

I'm a fan of the Wheaties. Just something I like more than the LMCs.

I am in with the Wheaties. Always a chance of finding something special.

I prefer the memorial, since it fits better when you compare it to the Jefferson nickel with the Monticello. I have a special spot in my heart for Wheaties, but I just don't get how 2 wheat ears relate to Abraham Lincoln. |
