  • And it's neck and neck as they round the third turn. Indian with a slight lead on the inside.

  • I quit voting after the liberty cap cent lost. Nothing but equally ugly cents after that.

    I like the design, but the Draped Bust juggernaut MUST be stopped in at least one denomination.

    I've tried three times to kill the Indian cent, but it looks like I'm in the minority on this one.

    It's not that I dislike Longacre's design- the Indian cent is nice. It's just that Lady Liberty is a little too Anglo-lookin' for her fake Indian disguise.

    Besides, I have always loved the Draped Bust cent, and probably would have chosen it as my favorite anyway. That RB piece from the coinfacts website always blows my mind.

    This is one of the few "final survivor" rounds where it was actually an easy choice for me.

    What cent was the first to be voted out? Those Matron Head Coronets sure were ugly. Cool ugly, but ugly. The Classic Heads, too.

    As it should be, the modern, dead president design was kicked out first. But the Matron Heads and the Classic Heads, if I recall, were the second and third to go.

    hmmmm... Anywho, this is cool image

  • I would vote for the Indian head if it didn't look like a white guy!

    Longacre wrte that the Indian headress on LIBERTY was supposed to show "Free by birthright" rather than "Freed by the hand of others".

    Here's what he said:

    To us it is more appropriate than the Phrygian cap; the emblem rather of the emancipated slave, than of the independent freeman, of those who are able to say “we are never in bondage to any man”. I regard then this emblem of America, as a proper and well defined portion of our national inheritance: and having now the opportunity of consecrating it as a memorial of Liberty, our Liberty, American Liberty: why not use it? One more graceful can scarcely be devised: we have only to determine that it shall be appropriate and all the world outside of us, cannot wrest it from us.

    TTT this for one more day since it is so close

    I killed the poll from the last round because i noticed a few votes go in AFTER i set this one up. Very narrow margin, the flying eagle only went out by one vote.

    Will finalize this thing tommorow night.

    I can't believe the IHC might win this. Does anyone really think that is the best design? I would've voted against IHC
    last round if I thought there was any chance of this happening. image

    Might be interesting to follow this up with an overall poll of "what do you think is the best cent?" I would like to know
    percentages of who really thinks the IHC is the best overall versus who voted themselves into a corner.

    Yes -- we finally knocked out a draped bust design (which I generally love, truth be told) AND my primary area of collecting interest won it.

    Sweet!
