I have always liked the reverse on the Ike and SBA and was glad they kept it for a little longer. I feel that it is the best part of both coins...but I also have a very strong interest in the space program and the reverse is nearly a direct copy of the Apollo 11 patch. :rolling:

 

I agree with you CamaroDMD, I love the reverse of those coins!

 

Well I think both coins, in general were ugly, OBVERSE and REVERSE.
If the reverse was the best part of those coins, that shows how ugly of a coin it truly was.
Always neat to find them in circulation, but I think it is more fun just to throw em' back...

 

How can you call this ugly? This is an attractive reverse!!!!!

I guess variety of opinion makes the world go round....

 

I guess it has a lot to do with opinions of what the reverse represents, and the design.
I personally don't like the reverse, but if I had more support for the space program, and what the reverse of the coin really means, then I might like it more.
It is ugly

 

T$, the Apollo 11 had a small vehicle that left the orbiting ship and landed on the moon in 1969, July 20 if I remember correctly. The name of the vehicle was the "Eagle." The astronaut's famous quote at the time was "The Eagle has landed." I was just a boy, but my Dad made me watch it as it was history. Wise man as I am greatful I saw this history-making-event live.

I worked in the Space Program indirectly for 10 years and live just a few miles from NASA's Johnson Space Center. Many of my friends still work for NASA. The representation of a real eagle landing on the moon symbolic of the space ship "Eagle" landing on the moon, with the earth in the background is a fantastic commemorative to a great, great moment in both American and world history.

I LOVE that reverse. Sorry for hopping on a soap box, but you asked what it represented.

Now back to your regular programing.

No I never asked what it meant, I know what it means.
I still don't like the reverse at all or the obverse, both are ugly, remember just my opinion.

 

Yeah, I really like the Ike's reverse. The obverse ain't shabby.

 

Sorry, T$. I thought you didn't know what it really means by the above quote. In re-reading, I can see how you meant it a different way.

And I'm very cool with different opinions.

 

No problem my friend, different opinions make the world go round...

 

Travis, This post should make you want to hurl from all the ugliness.

 

I don't collect Ikes, but I was impressed enough with the reverse to use it as my avatar. I like the earth in the background.

 

I like Ike proofs, but I agree the Bi-centenial reverse is loser.

 

BLEH... Now I am sick...
It would have been okay, but you added that jefferson at the end!
