Design candidates for 2026 Lincoln cent inverse*

If there is already a tread about this, forgive me…

I think the one I like the most is the last one with the single date as I think a dual date would overcrowd the coin.

I think the 2nd one is. overcrowded wuth the design of the dual date… That is my least favorite of the 4.

I'm sorry, what side is the inverse?
I know all about obverse and reverse, but not inverse.

Also, are we supposed to guess what the designs look like? I'm not familiar with the designs being presented.

Little more help here will go a long way to a successful thread and poll.

I’d like to see a one year run of any design in all copper! God knows this country has plenty of money to waste! Dump the zinc and build something that will last.

 

No, copper is too big of footprint. Maybe they go with a recycled something coin.

 

maybe rubber! Make it a Goodyear!

 

Nothing by his face. And I don’t think we need a Privy mark

 

@Pismo500
Do you still use your Apple Powerbook? Does it have spellcheck?

 

How about #4 but with a cheesesteak privy mark

 

I was thinking a Rocky Balboa privy mark!

I'm a Joe Frazer guy .

 

None of the above. Just make them in Bronze.

 

Every time they change things it gets worse.

 

I guess they planned to recycle shell casings in WWII, but today I think the only thing they recycle is designs.

 

I don't like privy marks, myself. So the one I dislike least is the one without a privy mark. I think that design for the dual date isn't bad, but it does still make things feel crowded.

The real question: what will the reverse design be, and how many sets of initials will they be able to cram onto it?

 

Only in Philly

 

You got my vote

 

How many millions of collectors will think the old date addition is is an error and worth big bucks on ebay , etsy, or here? ....but I am sure we can just say they are worth 2 cents each

 

Freak everyone out and put it all on the edge and just leave lincoln's face.

 

I thought about that, would have to be on a solid planchet also.
