<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cremebrule, post: 1463951, member: 35227&quot;]<b>My entry</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s mine. I now know what the Buffalo designer felt like when he had no room for anything! I couldn&#039;t find an appropiate place to fit the value (1/5/10 cents) nor U.S.A., so presumably it&#039;s on the unseen reverse (just like the Buffalo nickel!) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for what&#039;s on the (seen) obverse...it&#039;s typical Lady Liberty (marked by her LIBERTY tiara/crown) holding up a torch (also) symbolizing Liberty, declaring freedom for all who can see her torch. In her left hand is a shield symbolizing justice, in which L.L. defends against corruption and supports the righteous. I felt it should be mentioned on this design since IMHO it always goes unnoticed and never highlighted on coins. Her flowing hair represents our country&#039;s growing history. And of course there&#039;s the &quot;In God We Trust&quot;, which speaks for itself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope you like it! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> (Excuse the many erase/stray marks)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>On a side note...thank goodness for compasses!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH]183247.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
