That&#8217;s an unusual approach, but one which is highly appropriate,  considering that Lincoln had the humblest of beginnings in life.   The  image on the upper left depicts Lincoln as a student in either a  classroom or studying on his own.   The image on the upper right shows  Abe as an Illinois state legislator.  Finally, the two images on the  bottom show different variations of the log cabin in which he was born.<\/p>\n<p>For  my money (no pun intended), I like the legislator design and either of  the log cabin designs.   the obverse (i.e. the front) of the penny will  not be changed.   I&#8217;m not sure if this redesign of the reverse will be  permanent or not.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.numismaster.com\/ta\/numis\/Article.jsp?ad=article&amp;ArticleId=2939\">link<\/a> to Numismater.com (a coin collector website) which discusses the images  in more detail, plus also shows 35+ other designs which had been  considered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States Mint will be redesigning the Lincoln cent or penny in honor of the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln&#8217;s birth next year.
