I thought that it was one of the better looking eagles on our coins. The new sac fits in with the pres. dollars that look like casino tokens, IMO. __________________ Roll Searching Since July 2007 2310 rolls halves 125-40% halves 30-90% halves   01-08-2009, 11:32 PM   #2 (permalink) bullionboy Senior Member     Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: San Diego Posts: 142 They should use the Bald Eagle silver dollar has the basis for a $1 dollar coin. Keep the Sac composition, but make it bi-metal with a nickel clad center and the bronze rim. Wish someone could Photoshop it!!! I like the Sac comp,but I don't think it ages well on the main center of the coins. Cost and look make sense, so I think think the bi-metal version would solve this and make a novel coin.

It is pretty accurate, maybe it just doesn't translate well.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the design pic next to the coin.....How are the Lincolns going to turn out? __________________ When the well's dry, we know the worth of water. - Benjamin Franklin   01-07-2009, 05:36 PM   #5 (permalink) Conder101 Numismatist   Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 4,448 I think it looks better than I expected. I do think they made a mistake with the choice of lettering font on the reverse. Quote: I can agree with placing Native American achievments on the reverse such as Jim Thorpe and the Code Talkers from WW2. How about Native American celebrations such as the Sioux Ghost Dance. Don't worry, you've got at least 13 more years of these things an all of those have been proposed. I'm sure they will get around to them. Quote: And WHY are they now using $1 over "One Dollar"? Dumbing down of America, we can't expect people to be able to READ a denomination anymore so we are slowly switching over to numbers to try and make it easier to understand. Quote: Is the coin still golden-color?

All it takes is a little patience. Just let these coins circulate for a while. They'll turn green on their own, that is IF they ever make it to circulation.   01-08-2009, 10:22 AM   #8 (permalink) coin man The Question Man     Join Date: Jan 2009 Posts: 67 It's ugly now I know why people collect old money lol   01-07-2009, 06:39 PM   #9 (permalink) randygeki Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Flagstaff, Arizona Posts: 2,040 My Mood: I dont care for it much either, was hoping for something better   01-07-2009, 06:57 PM   #10 (permalink) randygeki Coin Collector     Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Flagstaff, Arizona Posts: 2,040 My Mood: I think it would be cool to do something like UK's set. kinda like this; If we get rid of the $1 bill.
