The following types of cents have been produced: Large Cents: * Flowing Hair Chain (1793) * Flowing Hair Wreath (1793) * Liberty Cap (1793-1796) * Draped Bust (1796-1807) * Classic Head (1808-1814) * Coronet (1816-1839) * Braided Hair (1839-1857) Small Cents: * Flying Eagle (1856-1858) * Indian Head (1859-1909) * Lincoln Wheat (1909-1958) * Lincoln Memorial (1959-) Throughout its history, the Lincoln cent has featured several fonts for the date, but most of the digits have been old-style numerals, except with the 4 and 8 neither ascending nor descending. The only significant divergence is that the 3 was non-descending (the same size as a 0, 1, or 2) in the early history, before switching to descending for one year in 1934 and then permanently (as of 2004) in 1943. The Lincoln Memorial is shown on the reverse of the United States cent. In his treatise Theory and Practise of Numismatic Design, Joe Began states that because the Lincoln Memorial is shown in sufficient detail to discern the statue of Lincoln on the reverse of the cent, Abraham Lincoln was the only person to be depicted on both the obverse and reverse of the same United States coin. In 1999, the New Jersey state quarter was released, which depicts George Washington on both sides, crossing the Delaware River on the reverse side and his profile on the obverse.
