    The Two Cent Piece is one of my favorite coins, but you have to be doing some really potent drugs to think it's the most beautiful and elegant design. image

    It is a cool design but what is elegant about it?

    I listen to your voice like it was music, [ y o u ' r e ] the song I want to know.

    I'd give you the world, just because...

    Speak to me of loved ones, favorite places and things, loves lost and gained, tears shed for joy and sorrow, of when I see the sparkle in your eye ...
    and the blackness when the dream dies, of lovers, fools, adventurers and kings while I sip my wine and contemplate the Chi.

    Better than all the coins in circulation today; probably, but not even close to the best design ever.

    I don't care for them.... coins with 2 reverses stink.

    I like 2 cent pieces just fine! But what's a Flying Lincoln Cent? Is that like a Standing Eagle Dollar?

    I like the proof version myself but have RD's in both.

    Need something designed and 3D printed?
  • Thank you for all the replys. I really love the phots,there very good.
    To answer the question about flying cent pennys. there the penny before indian head pennys. As for being elegant, there just really bold and inspiring, perhaps classy would have been a better word choce! Thanks again for the photos.

    It's a neat coin and I still have two in my collection, but I find the design uninspiring. image

    The 2 centers are different, but they were a lousy design from the beginning. They were not well thought out (in a lot of ways) in how they would age-- the design is the pits for wear. One of those coins that age lousy.
    They are pretty in well preserved states, but so are Pez dispensers.
    Aside from type sets, I have heard over and over, for over 20 yeears now, that they are sleepers-----Well they are still sound asleep for a long time to come...
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
