After 113 years of the same Victor D. Brenner design of Lincoln on the one cent coin-it is time for a change. Here is a nice 1952 design by James Fraser.

Fraser also had another design that is more common but less attractive.

The Fraser cent reverse is superior to the shield design we are currently using.

Imagine this as a new one cent combo.

Teddy Roosevelt once called our coins hideously atrocious. I think he would approve of this one.
