Saw this on a seller's item description on eBay about the design change from wheat to memorial:
"The Lincoln Wheat Ears reverse was replaced with the Lincoln Memorial reverse, designed by Frank Gasparro, in 1959. The main reason for this change was simply that people were getting a little tired of the Wheat reverse as it approached its 50th anniversary."
*sigh*
