The 2010 Lincoln Cent Reverse Proposals

Which Design Do You Think Should Be on the Penny Starting in 2010?

From , former About.com Guide

In 2010, the U.S. Lincoln Cent will get a new permanent reverse type. This gallery consists of the design finalists from which the new Lincoln Penny reverse will be selected. The design candidates come from five basic themes:

  • U.S. Capitol Building
  • U.S. Flag
  • Shield
  • Eagle
  • Wheat Stalks

Although in general, I would probably have favored the U.S. Capitol, (I guess seeing the Lincoln Memorial for fifty years has me trained toward buildings), in the end my favorite design is one of the shield types. See which design is my favorite, find out which one the official coin design committees chose, and learn more about sll of the designs when you explore this gallery.

Which one of these proposed designs do you like best?
