    The cabin is alright..the rest blow. They are trying to get too fancy.

    I like them. How cool to hear so many experts with wildly different opinions! (Another thread on this.)

    I can't see collecting them. Except perhaps for one perfect set, first year. Modern coins are just a little too easy.

    I am still upset with the forth one. It looks like someone blew up the Capitol.

    i have a feeling we're going to see things like "full logs" from the TPG's on the first one. I mean, how you gonna squeeze all that on the back of the cent?

    I sort of like them all too, but would like to see them on coins first before making my final ruling.

    They all look like the work of graphic designers. No artistic merit. The public will love them.

    3 of the 4 designs seem to honor buildings more than Lincoln himself image

    Would you believe that the guy who was dressed as Lincoln in the ceremony has been in Whitby WV???? Cool

    Cosmo Kramer finally got his own coin! image

    The designs look far better as a blown up drawing than I imagine they will on a much smaller one cent coin.

    If you are going to have a close up of Lincoln on the obverse, then why put another image of him on the reverse?

    A Civil War theme would be very appropriate, or one of his quotes such as "The Union Must Be Preserved", "Four Score and Seven Years Ago..."

    It really doesn't matter as the government will probably discontinue striking the cents within a decade or two, regardless of the metal used.

    There are few, if any, regular production coins, from any country, that have been used in circulation for more than 100 years.

    1st one I like, the rest don't really look great to me at all.

    I wish they did some kind of revision to the wheatback.

    The idea for the coins is nice, but I think that's way too much detail to put on the reverse of such a small coin...I think someone else mentioned a future "full log" designation... image

    They look ok but why not upgrade the half Dollars as well or is that in the works? also I wonder what type of errors are going to be foundimage ,mOjO

    Where is the beautiful deep cam 1909-S VDB in copper?

    Are these still planned to be in copper rather than zinc? If so, I can't imagine they'll circulate very widely. Didn't investors hoard all 1964 kennedys?

    Where in the market today can you get an instant 100% return on your investment?

    I guess any of them will look just fine piled up with the other non-wheaties in the mayonaise jars!! image

    "Some" graphic designers are "artists", 291fifth. And I doubt you're very well qualified to make the call as to "artistic merit." image

    I would like to have seen a 2009-S VDB wheat cent

    I believe the copper (bronze?) versions will be for collectors only, and sold at premium prices.

    Looks like 2008 will be the last year for the Memorial reverse, so the Lincoln Memorial cents will become another 50-year collectible sub-series, just like the wheat cents.

    Will there be a 2010 cent of any kind?

    ....good question, sumnom. i think they'll continue minting them because of politics. image
