Poll Question
The U.S. cent design has changed many times throughout its history; ten times in total. There are also the two size variations: the early large cents, and the more recent small cents. Since this is such a varied series, I thought I would ask: what is your favorite U.S. cent design?

(I may turn this into a series, going all the way through to double eagles.)

I chose Draped Bust. I think it's a beautiful design. I'm also a Large Cent lover.
Flying Eagle definitely my small cent fav.

The Flying Eagle is the clear hands-down overall winner for me.

I said Lincoln over any wheats only because the Log Cabin on the back of one of the 2009. Lincoln Logs were my favorite toy growing up. Good thing too or else I wouldn't know what to do with all the ones I have found, but I will be painting the most ugly ones to look like the cabin was mad from the Lincoln Log set.

Liberty Cap large cent

I think it's a beautiful design for a mint fledgling to strike coins for a new nation.

I adore the braided hairs.
Too bad there's so many varieties so they are a hassle to collect and value.

Mine would have to be the 20 cent. I really like the seated liberty design and add the eagle on the Rev it definitely takes the cake for me. Now to get one into my collection. And you didn't specify how many "cent" so there. :)

Very nice. And I voted for liberty cap. Forgot to throw that out there. I love all the LG cent designs though.

I have to go with IHC, but Flying Eagle is a close, very close second.

I love the Liberty Cap design. The design looks terrific in higher grades, XF+.
I would vote the Chain cent for its history, but the designer had no talent whatsoever. That design is horrifying even in MS.

I went with flying eagle. Its such a simple design but just something about it that is appealing. Runner up is Draped bust.

Flying Eagle seems a nice choice with the wreath reverse.
