Eagle looks good, I don't care for the obverse design because it looks too cluttered.

 

i agree i like the eagle the obverse sucks

 

that was the other choice

 

None of them are my very favorite from the larger list of candidates, but I like both proposed designs for each (obverse and reverse). I can't wait to see how they look in reality.

 

Liberty portrayed as "real" women? And the design sketches are obviously modeled by real women. What happened to Bartholdi's mother, or Saint-Gaudens' Liberty? I guess those versions are out...?

I don't know. This is weird.

 

I dunno, those figures still look pretty idealized to me. They're just a different ideal from that held by US government officials in the late 1800s/early 1900s...

 

If Liberty was looking more ahead and slightly upward it would be a better design.

 

I like the first on better, but really this is the best we can do? Hmmmm

 

I like the first obverse design, but I would rather have the letter style of the second. The letters look too big and gaudy on the first. Both eagles/reverses look freaking awesome to me. Either would do.

 

I liked other combinations better than those proposed; however, I'd buy the first coin posted in the thread.

This is one of my preferred combos:

 

Why is the eagle flying around with a twig? Is that for its nest?

 

Let’s have multiple versions of the coin, like we did for the Lincoln Penny. Let’s have a “Caucasian”, “African-American”, “Asian” and “Latino” version of the coin. That way, nobody gets offended at yet another “white” coin. Yes? Problem solved.

 

I'm sure you're being sarcastic, but I believe it's an olive branch.

 

1st reverse, no obverse

 

All the reverses are excellent. Obverses keep me from being a buyer.
