August 6, 2012: "Almost"

12 08 06 2

Author:
J. Agre

Concept:
I find it interesting to think that this coin, beautifully made and bearing a well-executed obverse portrait of George Washington, might have been our first cent if not for the fact that GW himself did not want his image on a coin.

Captions that didn’t make the cut:
Our first alternative "Rejected in favor of the Chain Cent." struck me as an interesting and provocative line that might well have been better than than the one we used this week.

Which means we may well see it in some future CRO ad months (or years) from now.
