commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12277 Posts	Posted 06/01/2013 09:11 am I think the selection was a good one. The selected design depicts the Union Shield in a style that dates back to the Civil War era â€" very appropriate considering Lincoln's place in Civil War history. I also like the simplicity of the design considering the size of the cent. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff
PennyPiggy Valued Member United States 317 Posts	Posted 06/01/2013 2:38 pm Agree 100% with commems. I'm also not a big fan of trying to do too much with such a limited space. The other designs try to cram too much into the space and I just did not like them. Report this Post to the Staff
