2009 LINCOLN CENT IDEAS
Gary Dunaier writes; "Regarding your article on what to do
with the Lincoln cent in 2009 (E-Sylum v7#26, June 28, 2004),
I e-mailed my suggestions to the Lincoln Bicentennial
Commission, and I thought our readers might be interested in
seeing them as well, so here's my two cents on the Lincoln cent:"I think the best thing would be to resurrect the original
wheat ears reverse, and restore the VDB to its original
location at 6:00 on the reverse."Since the obverse will probably be the last (not to mention
the only) U.S. coin design to persevere for 100 years,
I think bringing it back home, as it were, is the only right
thing. Other commemorative cents can be issued
concurrently, but we've got to bring back the wheat ears."Besides, collectors will finally be able to get an affordable
09-S VDB for their collections (even if it's 2009 and not
1909, it would still an '09-S VDB!)"Mark Borckardt submitted the following suggestion: "As a
change is planned for the bi-centennial of Lincoln's birth, it
seems to me that a logical concept would involve some
representation of Lincoln's birthplace."- 2004-07-04
