Looking at the designs for both and the fact that it is the nations 250th birthday is I think ending these denominations on a high note. I am sure the 2026 coins will be sought after by investors.

I hope there’s somehow one more year of the penny so we can have it end on a high note.

Use a dash or dot which helps reach back into time and pays homage to the great commissioned artists of the past. There is nothing sculptural or novel with any of these design variants. The mint is too busy making other unimaginative products. Haven’t privy marks also run their course? They seem like a passing technology fad.

Why not take some of the hobo nickel ideas instead of the basic ideas you’ve presented. That’s a thumbs down if you use the ones you’re showing . Come up with something better …

Lincoln’s from Kentucky Craig so maybe a bottle / barrel of bourbon 😉

This isn’t a redesign at all, it’s just an added date. How about be brave and bring back the Indian cent or buffalo nickel for a year? The same old Lincoln portrait for 115 years is long enough.

I’d like to see in on every coin minted for the year 2026 especially the silver eagle, $1.00 silver Dollar
