Did the the Floridians/Dems put you up to this?
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.

This is interesting, when will you finalize the winner....
Wait a minute...What if someone has multiple log ID's...How can this be fair?
hmmmm... Anywho, this is cool
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.
How come the results are removed from the prior polls?

Then, you know what I voted
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.
last round if I thought there was any chance of this happening.
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.
