If you're having trouble with appetite control, here, have a look at this bit of "coin art": LOVE Walking Liberty Silver Eagle 1 Oz Silver Coin 1$ US Mint 2016 I think I'll go skip lunch now.
that's just sad. even sadder is the price tag, and knowing somebody will probably pay it. i need a beer
Post mint or not, the black and gold ASE looks fantastic and the mint should consider doing one like that
I saw an ad the coin a 2016 ASE but they advertised it as "Statue of Liberty". The obverse was all painted brightly.
I don't find this one attractive in either the art or price. However, I have seen some that were tastefully done and I'd add to my collection at the right price.
It's still better looking and more useful than this monstrosity I stumbled across the other day. That's a plate... at least you can eat off it (maybe if the paint doesn't chip).. this is just a piece of wood.
If the Mint makes them, that would be entirely different. Not saying I would buy them (which I probably wouldn't).
Everybody is entitled to create art. In fact, I encourage every person to find some sort of outsource for creativity even if they have zero experience/natural talent. However, once they offer their art for sale it enters a new ballpark open for criticism.
