New Lincoln Reverse in 2010

From the Mint Web Site
At the conclusion of the 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial One-Cent Program, the 2010 (and beyond) one-cent coin will feature a reverse design that will be emblematic of President Lincoln's preservation of the United States of America as a single and united country.


You can tell your grand kids you remember when all the Lincolns in circulation were memorials!
Give Blood (Red Bags) & Platelets (Yellow Bags)!

    I don't think you can. There are wheeties in circulation.

    I'm wondering why I haven't seen multi-page newspaper ads imploring people to get the Last Ever Lincoln Memorial Pennies [sic], painstakingly packaged in a Collectible Keepsake Ballistic Bank Brick Box™ never before and never again to be made, and sealed with a Wax Seal of the Federal Moneraty Numismatic Vault Mint Exchange Treasury™. FREE, plus nominal shipping, handling, vault fee, fuel surcharge, union dues, collision damage waiver, and stupid tax totalling three easy payments of $149.99.

    I was hoping that we would finally retire Abe after a 101 year run. Bring back Liberty.

    I average 25 to 30 wheat reverses out of every 25$ box searched.

    Remember there were 25 billion wheats coined, and 425 billion memorials.

    Has the 2010 design been published yet?? I have not seen it, however, I have been preoccupied with other things of late. Cheers, RickO

    I can see it now.

    Next week I'll wake up at 2am, flip on the tube and watch the guys at HSNShopNBQVCCounCountryVault blabbering about MS67 First strikes in a P&D set in a presentation box for $69.95.

    I like these designs more each time I see them. Hopefully Tazmic will be full steam ahead with these....bash if you will, but can you imagine wiat a set of all four in 70RD would fecth? How come the mint can make them all day long on commem gold but cant do it with a lincoln?

    In 2010 a 'design emblematic of Lincoln holding together the Union' will be used.

    WHAT could THAT be?

    Its a tough question, even as a civil war buff/history type person...I cant come up with a decent idea. i think the trying to make every coin design have a message should be set aside sometime. Id like to see some type of wreath, and the essential info text as written. The flying eagle cent wreath is nice.

    But no they will cobble something up, most likely with a racial message that will be way to politically correct and suck artistically and we will be stuck with some idiotic design until 2059.

    I love pennies for the artwork, but sadly even I must admit that they are no longer practical as currency. You used to be able to get a piece of gum for a penny, but I honestly can't think of a single thing that a penny can buy today. The nickel should be the lowest denomination, I believe. Or maybe a 3 cent piece? That would be kinda cool. image

    Are you kidding me?

    Are you serious there?

    When was the last time you went into a store, made a cash transaction and DID NOT get pennies back in change?

    Did you not roll those up one dreary afternoon, and walk away from the bank with currency of the realm?

    What do you want pennies to do afterall? Dance on the table like the Rasinettes?

    I'll bet you 100 corroded Zincolns that the U.S. one-cent coin will stop being minted long before 2059.
