Of all the nice designs submitted, they chose this one. Yuk, I don't like it! Story: http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis/Article.jsp?ad=article&ArticleId=6622 Also, at the bottom of the article, I think they forgot to omit this as we are talking about the cent, not the Sac dollar, LOL. __________________ An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.

I'm somewhat confused by the desire to place "ONE NATION" on the reverse, though. __________________ My Ancient Coin Collection   04-24-2009, 04:22 PM   #3 (permalink) becky62 Collector     Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: New York Posts: 120 My Mood: About the "one nation, etc, the article says this: The recommendation of the wheat sheaf for the design will go to the United States Mint, with one suggested alteration. Commission members did ask that the words "One Cent" be spelled out and that the words "One Nation" be omitted, he said. __________________ An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.   04-24-2009, 04:24 PM   #4 (permalink) bqcoins You get what you pay for.     Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Nebraska/Iowa Posts: 4,770 My Mood: wow, that design stinks __________________ BQ Sometime Numismatic Consultant See my Bust Halves here: http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...albumview=grid See my Holey coins here:http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...albumview=grid   04-24-2009, 04:30 PM   #5 (permalink) BuffaloNickel86 Member     Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: South Jersey Posts: 98 Wow, that is just awful all around. __________________   04-24-2009, 04:34 PM   #6 (permalink) becky62 Collector     Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: New York Posts: 120 My Mood: I wish there was a way to protest to the Commission that choses the designs! __________________ An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.   04-24-2009, 04:44 PM   #7 (permalink) Captainkirk 73 Buick Riviera owner     Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Girard PA Posts: 1,054 My Mood: Blog Entries: 1 At least it's a wheat cent.   04-24-2009, 04:54 PM   #8 (permalink) becky62 Collector     Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: New York Posts: 120 My Mood: Well, they could have used the reverse of the 1909 cent. That would have been a heck of a lot better than this. __________________ An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.   04-24-2009, 05:14 PM   #9 (permalink) desertgem Senior Errer Collecktor     Join Date: Jul 2008 Posts: 2,506 My Mood: Is it wheat? Looks somewhat like asparagus spears. But that would show "war" rather than peace.

You would think that we would not have hit our peak 100 years ago or more. Awfull, purely awfull.   04-24-2009, 06:52 PM   #12 (permalink) rzage What Goes Around Comes A     Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Chicago Posts: 5,449 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by desertgem Is it wheat?
