The LP-17 Eagle is tops but I bet they go with LP-02 to honor the U.S. Congress! Check coin production by year here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United...n_productionWe're on course for the lowest overall annual production of U.S. cents in the last 43 years. |

I think LP-13 is pretty cool, very traditional and American in concept while remaining simple. LP-17 is cool too, but haven't we done the eagle thing before? I think a shield reverse to the Cent would be great. ~ Jim

My wife and I like the Eagle design.
She says the eagle is American and the others are weird.

I do not know if I would call 284.8 million a low mintage if they were all sold to collectors. I think probably every single cent is in the hand of a collector. That means that there will be millions around for hundreds of years  Edited by markapsolon

Why do I find LP-13 horrible? I think LP-01 and LP-17 are the better of the 4. LP-17 the nicest! But will anyone with any sense be voting, it says something about going public, but I doubt there will be a public vote like there was for some of the euro coin designs. Does anyone know if these are the final four, or if the other designs are still in the competition? Eaglefoot http://www.cfa.gov/about/bios/index.htmlThe members of the Commission are: Earl A.

My preference is the eagle design, LP-17. My fear is that they will have several designs we will have to go out searching for, like the 2009 Lincoln Cent and Statehood/Territory/State Park Quarters. Ken |

I like the eagle reverse the best.I like the first one as well. I have always been partial to the eagle.

LP-17 I like the Eagle reverse the best. It is a sharp looking coin design and I think it would be a great coin to collect for those that have sharp detail in high grades.
LP-13 The one with the shield is nice, but I'd rather see Stars in the top part of the shield, ONE CENT at the bottom and E Pluribus Unum in a slightly thinner banner instead.
LP-02 I don't like the one with the US Capitol on it. Congress is practically taking every last cent we have as it is.
LP-10 The one with the flag that has 50 stars is optimistic but a few states are seriously considering leaving the Union, Texas is probably the most determined and they ain't a foolin' around in Texas.
Why? Because of the people in the building shown on LP-02.

[quote]what could be better to represent this than the symbol of the shield that was on almost all U.S. coins minted during the time that Mr. Lincoln ensured the Union's preservation?[quote]
Well considering it was on the coins before and after the time Lincon was "preserving the Union" how is it embalic of Lincoln preserving the union?

I like the eagle the best, and the Capital building the least. Pretty birdy . . .
