My 2009 cent design

Very good point. The obverse bugs me too. I wanted a picture in which he was in sort of an 'action-stance' (for lack of a better word). Most of the pictures just show him sitting around, which seems really dull for a coin. If I find a picture with him with his arm the same, I'd like to replace it.

Perhaps but,

The war happened, there was a flag and it would be so Politically Incorrect to deny it.

 

Why not just keeping it simple. Lincoln's face on the front and the back of his head on the reverse. Or more like a flipping coin with Lincoln's head on the front and his tail on the reverse for heads and tails.

 

I like it. By portraying MLK in the act of speaking, with the Washington Monument on the obverse and the Lincoln Memerial on the reverse, it is as if the coin is capturing that moment in history when MLK spoke in that very spot on those steps that day. Almost as if the two sides of the coin are two halves of the same picture!

 

ewww....I like it BigH

 

Thanks, guys!

I made another design for the obverse of the MLK coin. Which do you guys think is better?

They are two different sizes, but you get the idea. Didn't feel like resizing them. :eating:



I really wanted to get the Washington monument in there, but I wrestled with the idea of including the capitol building instead. I utimately wound up going with my original plan, with a slightly different MLK picture.
