Your Thoughts On The Lincoln Shield Cent

I'd like to see the shield cent in high relief and composed of bronze. I think it would look much better. The design has grown in me a little, but I just cannot stand the low relief.

Not only did it save (our) government money but everybody seemed sick of them getting so much in there wallet and what not. In my opinion it was for the better even though countless key dates and errors were melted and really, I'mhappy we didn't end up like all you Americans with that astronomical amount of them circulating around your country. What I'msaying is that if they don't stop producing them in the states then when I go there with my family we will be walking in them and it will be really hard for me to find all the older ones because they will all be ones minted within the last decade. You don't even need to collect any shield penny's because they will never be rare and will never be actually collectible. What I have previously mentioned is why when American roll hunters go to the bank they sometimes get a whole box of the same year. What is your guises government thinking.

I second that request.


Well said, Normic67.
