Post Best Dollar Coin Design.... Real Poll, Your Vote Needed...

OK, i don't like the design thread with just Morgan and peace dollars. Here's the thread where you can give your opinion on your favorite design from all of the older dollars, up to the peace dollar....

ALSO, leave some pictures to show some examples of your favorite examples of those dollars whichever are your favorites you want to give you 2 cents on....

PERSONALLY, Draped Bust a FAVORITE OF MINE, Also i would say i like the gobrecht & the seated....

I like the flowing hair, but just because its worth so much ****ing money... Really the better design s the draped bust, And when you can find one in 64-65 They POP in your face and scream buy me....

I voted Peace and Other - by other I mean some of the patterns made in the late 19th century around the time of the Trade dollar.

I also voted other. It isn't that I don't like the US Dollar designs, I do. However, I wish that the Washlady pattern would have made it to production. My favorite silver dollar design of all time is by far the Lafayette Commemorative Dollar. Both sides are ultra cool and I love horses.

I like the uncluttered simplicity of the Gobrecht design, although Liberty's right arm is a tad masculine.

I still voted Peace Dollar. True some of them were not well struck, but find a good example, and it's a beauty!

I always liked the Morgan because it really seems to me to be the classic American design.
