Since I am from Kentuck and have seen the cabin in person I kind of like it but where are the trees that are all over the place over there? I hope they release it here first I'll be there to get some. Ice
I think the consensus will say, they'll be lucky to pull off the amount of design they've got without adding trees. Might make it hard to read the words too. It may be more realistic but I think they'd be distracting to the design.
This design of Lincoln's birth is my least favorite of the 4 new designs. While I love the story that an American President can be born in a log cabin from humble roots and become one of the greatest Presidents ever, this design is boring.
When you say that there will be a new reverse for 2010, do you mean that the lincoln memorial reverse is being discontinued?
2010 I have not heard or read anything about the 2010 reverse. its all been 2009 in the press,I guess the mint has not look that far down the road yet
That's what I understand. You might want to check the legislation on that. It could be open ended like the obverse is for the National Park Quarters.
2009 Cent........................... ............i don't think any decision has been made yet, one way or the other.
Each new reverse will be issued only for a 3-month period. The 2009 Cents will be issued in three varieties each - Copper plated Zinc, Copper alloyed with Tin and Zinc, and Proof (metallic composition unspecified) - a total of 12 cents collectable for the year. After that, in 2010, there will be a new reverse with the Memorial reverse being discontinued. From the Mint:
I think it would have been a cool idea to make a large dollar coin out of cooper that looks like the current penny. 100 years of the current one cent design equals 1 dollar/
1 year type 1 Dollar copper coin sound great! but I sure it would not happen it would interfere with the President & Sac's But a great idea!
