Poll: What US Small Cent Design Is Your Favorite?

IHC and Lincoln Cents are tied for me, but I'm going Lincoln cents although it's got no chance of pulling ahead of IHC and Flying Eagle cents. I particularly like the wheat cents because the reverse is neat IMO and has an old timey look to it.....I don't know why. Maybe I'm weird. :p

Hate to see Abe getting left in the dust so my vote goes to the Lincoln Cent. Specifically the wheat reverse.

Having the complete small cents, my favorite is the flying eagle followed by
IHC and a distant 3rd the LWC, LMC and the really bad zincoins In last place especially those with shields!

i voted abe.

when I was preschool age (early 70s) Grandma Pink had a small bronze Lincoln bust piggy bank, probably a premium (or similar) from a local bank. kinda heavy for as small as it was. it looked just like the Lincoln profile on the coin, same color, too. she had several old coins in it that she would bring out & show me occasionally.... old wheat cents, Morgan dollars, Peace dollars, Buffalo nickels, an old circulated Franklin half, and an 1857-O Seated Liberty dollar she said she dug up in the garden many years prior.

it's a 'comfort coin'. the old Lincoln wheaties take me back to grandma & her Lincoln piggy bank, my first exposure to old coins.

Now that would have been a great coin.

The Lincoln Cent one. I've grew up with them.

Since you're letting foreigners vote, I voted Flying Eagle as number 1. Maybe I'm just weird, but for Number 2 I'd put the Lincoln Shield type. I like the Lincoln Shield reverse over the other two older reverses. It's only the modern mass-production methods that let the design down.
