The reverse of the "Shield" Lincoln cent was designed by Artistic Infusion Program Associate Designer Lyndall Bass according to this press release. For reasons explained at Commons:Determining if U.S. coins are free to use, coins designed by Artistic Infusion Program artists are not freely usable.  Mysterymanblue  19:30, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

• Comment I have posted this discussion to Commons:Village pump/Copyright#U.S. coin related deletion discussions. Central discussion there may be more valuable and less time-consuming than discussions at each of the DR pages relating to this topic.  Mysterymanblue  05:41, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Deleted: Per nomination including the essay Commons:Determining if U.S. coins are free to use. The terms of use on the website of the US Mint state ‘’Coin and medal designs may be based on sources that are copyrighted and licensed to the United States Mint or otherwise used with permission. In some cases, such designs may themselves be covered by third-party copyrights assigned to the United States Mint. Numismatic designs may also contain third parties’ other proprietary material, trademarks, or logos licensed or provided to the United States Mint for limited purposes. Reuse of such designs may require permission of the rights owner.’’ There is a possibility these coins are copyrighted. Consequently, the uploader – or any other Commons user - has to show per COM:EVID that the image can be used with an acceptable licence. This has imho not been done in this case. So therefore these images must be deleted. --Ellywa (talk) 08:57, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
