2005 Double Die Lincoln Cent Greater Houston Coin Club Show Houston, Texas |
| Obverse is a tribute to the 50th anniversary of the
1955
Double Die Lincoln Cent, while reverse commemorates the 50th
anniversary of the Greater
Houston Coin Club
(of which I am a member.) Standard irony from engraver Ron Landis in
that the reverse features wheat ears paired with Memorial-era obverse
date, and that Landis inscribed his triple initials at the base of the
reverse, reminiscent of the 1909 V.D.B. Lincoln Cent. The obverse
design is based on my personal recommendation for the token at the end
of September 2004. See the link below to view the mockup image proposal
that I submitted to the Gallery Mint Museum. Links: Actual 1955 Double Die Cent - Edwin Johnston sketch for 2005 Double Die Lincoln |
