No indication who created the design of the penny. If the local government, then this may be a derivative work of a non-free object (i.e. a copyright violation). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:34, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- That would make it a derivative of a Free object: any design, photo or document that the government makes is Public Domain (the original penny). The new design itself is only facts and a picture of a building too old to be considered under copyright for the purpose of panoramic view, over 150 years old. The design wasn't by the local government, btw, it was by a local non profit. Technically, defacing US coinage is illegal so I doubt the city govt. would do that.

- Works by local and state governments, in the US, can still have copyright; see Copyright status of work by U.S. subnational governments. It is works of the federal government which are, essentially, always PD.
- If a non-profit designed the engraving, it would certainly be copyrighted. The age of the building doesn't matter, as the design of the engraving would have attracted a new copyright (similar to why we cannot use random photographs of PD buildings). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:55, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- Then just delete it, and just about everything else I've uploaded before 2010. I've had this discussion before here and just tired of debating it every time over such simple little things like photos of pig statues and the like. I understand protecting the interests of copyright holders and their right to profit from their works, but not sure how deleting images of a pressed coin helps us build an encyclopedia or depository of useful images.
