Poll on the 2009 Lincoln Cent Designs

I opened my new issue of the Numismatist today and gave a good long look at the 4 new penny designs for next year. I am really displeased with the 4th design representing Lincolns tenure as president. Lincoln giving the Gettysburg Address would have been MUCH better of a choice. So i want to ask my fellow Numismatists, which would you prefer? The capital building, the Gettysburg Address, or something else.

    In truth very disappointed, they should have went with a single design, but having gone in the direction of four designs its a crime that they did not commerative true acheivements in his life, seeing the nation through the civil war, ending slavery, or the purchase of Alaska amongest others.

    I would have rather seen a retro "Wheat Back" from 1909, etal.
  • I am doing a poll on bringing back the wheat back and thus far, 48% of the 76 who responded want wheat. The other 52% either do not want the design or do not care. No non wheat group exceeds 48%.

    I don't see your point!! If his trip wasn't what it was we wouldn't have so much history about what scum decided to become a legend in the wrong way.image
