From - http://www.coinworld.com/ A new version of the famous Wheat cent may be on the horizon. That's what three members of the Commission of Fine Arts suggested April 16 when they reviewed 18 proposed designs for the reverse of the Lincoln cent starting in 2010.
I think the shield had a very classic feel to it and would be nice on the coin. I could like with that. YES!!! That's what I want to see. Lets bring back the original wheat back!
I like that one also. Maybe they could make the shield a bit smaller and put the wheat ears around it.
