Message:: [QUOTE="ERROR HUNTER, post: 775078, member: 21857"]Following the four different reverse designs for the 2009 Lincoln Cents, the 2010 Lincoln Cent will feature a brand new reverse design. This design is expected to become the new permanent reverse design for the one cent coin.Under the authorizing legislation, the 2010 Lincoln Penny reverse will bear an image emblematic of President Lincoln's preservation of the United States of America as a united country. The obverse of the coin will continue to feature the portrait of Abraham Lincoln designed by Victor D. Brenner and used continuously since 1909.While the final design choice is not yet known, there have been 17 proposed designs recently provided to the Commission of Fine Arts and the Citizen's Coinage Advisory Committee. Eight of the designs feature various views of the US Capitol Building. This might be a fitting choice since the fourth 2009 Lincoln Cent design features a view of the unfinished structure. Other design proposals incorporate the American Flag, a shield, and the Bald Eagle.The Commission of Fine Arts has recommended a design featuring a 34 star flag. The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee has recommended a design featuring a shield. The final design choice will be made by the United States Secretary of the Treasury. A selection of some of the proposed designs appears below. Sadly    LP-18 has been removed from consideration by the United States Mint.[/QUOTE]
