I can't wait to find one MDing.

I wonder what metal(s) they'll use? Any thoughts?

 

[Narthoniel]

Very cool news.

I have wondered how long until each coin recieved a permanent makeover. The current designs have been around for a very long time. I think they are long overdue for a change.

 

[Benning]

I like the idea. Can't wait to see what it looks like.

 

[Silver_Fox]

Here is what the new penny for 2009 will look like.

To bad it wasn't on a bigger coin. I think it would be an awesome looking proof.

I wonder what metal(s) they'll use? Any thoughts?

I bet it will be the same as they currently use - electroplated zinc.

 

[Narthoniel]

Those are beautiful Coins

I bet it will be the same as they currently use - electroplated zinc.

No doubt.

probably on the obverse like the ones we have now.

 

[Silver_Fox]

Where does it say in God we trust on it ?

The obverse (heads side) will continue to bear the likeness of President Lincoln. Like the ones we have now, the new ones will have it on the "heads" side also.

Hmm, I wonder if they are going to offer a premium high end set struck on the pre 82 copper alloy?
