It sounds like I am one of the few that likes the Capital. There is some symbolism there as Lincoln pushed to continue construction of the cast iron dome and it was completed during his presidency.

I think that we need something new. The eagle emblam has been overused in recent years. A shield hasn't been used in over a hundred years. The capital looks boring,and the flag looks odd on a coin.  |

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?
...shhhhh... do you want a coin with congress on it? Just keep this declaration under wraps and let us have the eagle!  |

The fourth 2009 Lincoln Reverse already acknowledges this fact; however, I can see where a completed Capitol building might signify his success in keeping the union together. |

What about the other 14 designs? Have they been posted on the web yet? I'd like to see how many great designs will be passed up before Congress honor's itself with yet another political coin issue. ~ Jim

I think the eagle won't look that good on such a small coin, besides too many eagles on US coins. I like the shield design. Simple. Good for a small coin. Classic. |

Texas Trader, I also like the capital. The eagle gets second place with me. I think if they did something else with the shield (or the flag) I would like it.
