New Cent Reverse in 2010
By Numismatic News
April 16, 2009
The process of finding a new reverse design for the 2010
Lincoln cent has entered a public phase with the submission
by the U.S. Mint of 18 different design possibilities to
the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts.

On April 16 the Fine Arts Commission will meet as this
issue of Numismatic News goes to press. It was established
in 1910 and it is one of two public bodies that evaluate
potential U.S. coin designs and then submit their
recommendations to the Treasury secretary.
The other advisory body is the Citizens Coinage Advisory
Committee Its next meeting is slated for April 28.
Under terms of the 2005 legislation that authorized the
four Lincoln reverse designs for 2009 and one in 2010 is a
requirement that the reverse design be "an image emblematic
of President Lincoln's preservation of the United States of
America as a single and united country."
Also to be reviewed by the the Fine Arts Commission are
five possible reverse designs for the 2010 Native American
dollar. The coin features the familiar Sacagawea portrait
on obverse, but the reverse design changes annually to mark
Native American themes and culture.

Just what we need; more bureaucracy getting involved in things they
shouldn't (like Congress deciding how to SAVE money). Eighteen
designs submitted, and we're shown four of the UGLIEST designs I've
ever seen (even SBAs are looking better).

Sorry about the Congress dig; had to get it in somehow.

You wouldn't be referring to the D.C. Chapter of the Society of Strutters
and Preeners, would you?

If they're gonna change the reverse of the cent, let's have a portrait
of Nency Peloisi on the reverse. She's ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY the
greatest Cunt in the history of the U.S.A. (besides Frank Prosavec)!!!

And it is not the finest afternoon here, cold and rainy. The big
indoor Springpatch flea market was rather fine today, but it is the
last one until October.
J'attends le CICF cette Vendredi.

Moi aussi. On s'y verra.

If minting were stopped tomorrow, we'd still never get rid of the gazillions
of domant Lincoln cents in the lifetime of the youngest lurker here. But I
agree that it's time to make a move. Even stopping cent production for a
couple years, without yet enacting "rounding" for cash purchases, would
probably be noticed only by coin collectors and the people who have to live
with them.
