YES!!!!! That's the design I was hoping for. If it comes to fruition, I'll be very happy. Awesome.

I don't care for it!

I like it.

The CCAC did not like any of the designs presented to them. I don't like the shield. We've done shielded coins before and I think this one is bland.

 

CCAC's selection does not mean that this will be the design chosen. CCAC "advises" the Secretary of the Treasury, who has the ultimate decision. The Commission for Fine Arts also has an opinion. The CFA selected a different design that was rejected because it resembles a design used on reichmark coins of the 1920-30s. The CFA can select another design at their next meeting later this month.

Yawn. Yet another boring US issue.

 

Art is dead.

Of the four designs brought forward recently the shield nudged out the eagle as my preferred. Either would be okay with me. The shield strikes me as a token. Given the value of a cent that's about what it is worth.

Wowzer, that one is gorgeous pendragon.

Michael:

 

While I love the reverse on the coin, I would rather look at a more modern design and contend that art isn't dead, just the heads of those who select what they think is art for our coins. For example, I would have rather seen the attached portrait of Thomas Jefferson used only in 2005 to have been the new regular issue when the Westward Journey Series was over.

I would like to see a classic shield design on the Lincoln cent.

 

But that one looks cartoonish.

 

What a shame.

Wow.. now that is pretty sweet looking.

It is gorgeous, isn't it? I'm not sure I clarified enough in the first post, but it's over at David Lawrence rare coins for sale, I believe. Someone posted it over on the PCGS boards' British Coins Friday post.
