“In its meeting of 16 April, the Commission of Fine Arts reviewed reviewed the proposed reverse design for the Abraham Lincoln one-cent coin to commence in 2010. The Commission members recommended alternative #18 depicting the sheaf of wheat; they requested that the phrase “One Nation” be omitted for clarity and the one-cent denomination be spelled out, such as by using the text format of alternative #3. They also commented that the depiction of the eagle in alternative #17 is exceptionally well rendered and could serve as a model for a future coin submission, preferably for one with a larger scale.”

I’m not sure how Congress will react to this choice, but it would be bice to hear what you think about this desicion.
