Hmm... I like both designs With peace dollars you've got the strike: Then you have the luster bombs: Then the ones that are just thick with frost: However Morgan's can have strike, luster, and frost on one coin: But the one design that trumps both Morgan and Peace is this full bodied beauty
The model for the Bland (Morgan Dollar) The model for the Peace Dollar. Both beautiful women in my opinion.
Gentlemen, This thread is about Peace Dollars. Please talk about lesser coinage in the Bullion section. Thanks, Gregg
Lettice Knollys has them all beat, hands down. No contest. Unfortunately, hammered coins have a tendency to render very unflattering images. Beauties in the Tudor era had it rough. But have you ever seen anyone make a coffee filter look so good? Stop denying that you have! Just stop it right now! Sorry, we should return to the main topic of this thread, which I believe was bloated corpses...
Ah yes, Anna Williams, the Philadelphia school teacher who was fired when it got out that she modeled for George T. Morgan, and her likeness appeared on the Morgan dollar. In Victorian times, it was unseemly for men and women to engage in acts that involved compromising positions. Fortunately (?), times have changed, (which gave rise to the #Metoo movement?) In order to offend further: I prefer the Morgan design to the Peace dollar design.
Fat shaming? I'm outraged!! Even the 800lb girl who has her boyfriend shovel food into her mouth on camera is "beautiful"! In fact every woman, real or imagined, is the picture of human perfection, and like that horrid symbol of the patriarchy George Washington, is incapable of telling a lie. Or so word has it anyway....
No shaming, just repeating what was said historically. The Bust Half has one of the devoted followings in American numismatics. So obviously, the modern American man is infatuated with 'big girls'!
