So who else likes this design?
I think it really harkens back to when coins had style.

I'd rather see the reverse blank than that silly thing. Completely lacks imagination, thought or anything. Soon as I saw one first thing I thought of was they just ran out of ideas.

If they had done the wreath around it I would have liked it. Without it it kind of looks like they just picked the easiest thing to do.

Not a fan of it either. I would've liked something similar to the 09 issues to be a more permanent thing. (In regards to more thought and work put into them)

I like it. It's a nice change from the Lincoln Memorial. They could have made the design a bit more intricate and artful though. I too think it harkens back to the older designs that didn't feature a building or some goofy scene (like the 2009 cents or State Quarters). |

It's okay but I don't like it that much.

I like the shield design, but it would look better struck in real copper.

I like it  I agree that it could have been a more intricate design, but it still is a classic design that I think will look even better with the the patina of 25 years or so. The memorial was fine, but it was time for a change. Plus now the kids have another coin that is new and unique to their lifetime to start album collecting. |

I'm not sure having an intricate design would have been that good for such a small coin.

I'm perfectly fine with the new design. I like it better than the Memorial cent; not sure if it's any better, just maybe the 'freshness' effect. As mentioned earlier, it will be interesting to see how they hold up and tone after several years. |
