I find the LP-13 appealing

 

good that means that is one designt hat wont get approved when we are down to the least appealing coin that is our final design

 

I know. Wanna know how? Cause I,m the only one that can pick the horse that comes out of the starting "dead last" in a horse race.

 

lol we might be able to make a lot of money if u can get that right 100% of the time

 

I thought about doing that, and just tout all the other horses.

 

All of them are great.
but if I had pick one it would be LC17 the is eagle it is more America to me

 

It's sharp looking, but a widely used design. Thats why I chose the LP-13

 

I like LC-17, i'm sure it will have a 19 and a 20 wing feather variety!

 

Heck you mean 2008s are the last Memorials? I've got so many boxes of them I've been using them as bookends on my night stand...heck, I'm rich!

 

I didn't like any of those designs. Simple yet meaningful would work best. They try to cram too much detail and junk onto a tiny space and it usually looks like....well, I won't even go there. Are there no more artists left working for the government, or what?!

yes you might be in 100 years.

 

The only one that looks interesting to me composition wise is 02 with the capital building (I think). But stand alone, it isn't that good either. The others look like a high school art assignment.

 

I would like to see Lp-17, but I wonder how well that design would transfer onto the actual coin.

 

I agree about the HS art context comment. But I think the capitol building is sucking up to the politicians on the committee---kind of a non-design design.

 

Of the four shown, I like LP-17 the best. I think LP-13 is also appealing. IMHO, LP-10 is horrible. Don't get me wrong, I like the flag and support the country and everything...but I don't think it belongs on a coin like that.

 

I like LP-17 the best. I have alsways liked Eagles on the reverse of coins.

 

i like the new design for 2010. any of those is o.k. as long as it is a new one.

 

Out of all the artists in the U.S. that have an opportunity to place their mark in American history on one the most recognizable coins of all time...and this is what we were able to come up with? None of them inspire me...if I was forced to choose one, I would pick LP17, as the American Bald Eagle always stirs emotions within. Although I wish the motto was smaller and the eagle was larger. I know many say the Eagle is "played-out" on U.S. coinage, but is very symbolic of Lincoln's impact as president. I found this quote about the history behind the American Bald Eagle...

"It is said the eagle was used as a national emblem because, at one of the first battles of the Revolution (which occurred early in the morning) the noise of the struggle awoke the sleeping eagles on the heights and they flew from their nests and circled about over the heads of the fighting men, all the while giving vent to their raucous cries. "They are shrieking for Freedom," said the patriots.

Thus the eagle, full of the boundless spirit of freedom, living above the valleys, strong and powerful in his might, has become the national emblem of a country that offers freedom in word and thought and an opportunity for a full and free expansion into the boundless space of the future."

That's powerful good!
