Sac vs. SBA

If you had to choose one or the other to collect, which would you choose, would you choose the Sacajawea dollar or the Susan B. Anthony dollar?

Not much to collect. I like the Sac's.

 

The 3rd option is Cow Pies......
I choose Cow Pies

 

I collect both. I like the fact both series can be completed rather cheaply. The Sacs have an advantage of a great reverse (eagle) and the alternating reverses starting in 2009.

The SBAs aren't as ugly as some make them to be IMO. I really like the Eagle on the Moon reverse, though it's kind of an odd reverse to be paired up with SBA's mug!

 

This thread reminds be of the Chiefs vs Panthers game yesterday. Battle for the basement!

 

Ugh. Don't make me choose.

I voted for the Sac, but I have to qualify my choice. I like the 2000-2008 with the "Soaring Eagle" reverse, but I do not care for the "Native American" series that replaced it.

Sac is better to look. Don't know enough about the either series.

 

Chris! Really!?! Heresy!!! While I'm partial to the soaring eagle reverse of 2000-2008, I think the 2012 reverse is pretty darn nice!

The amount of hatred for the SBA and Sac humors me. What about how ugly the Morgan Dollar is??? Everyone and their grandma collects Morgans, and they are ugly as sin....but anyway, I'd vote Sac among the two given choices.

 

I do like that reverse!

 

I don't think Sac is ugly...best looking gal on circulating US coinage.

 

They're both ugly, but at least the SBA has the reverse stolen from the Eisenhower dollar so I'd go with that one. Plus there's way less SBA types so thankfully I could end the collecting quickly and move on to something more attractive, like sifting thru the cat box for hidden treasures.

 

OK, who gave Mrs. Anthony her first vote!

 

Very, very funny!

 

That would be me...

If you mean current US coinage you are correct...

 

Atarian, you are a very sympathetic guy. I can appreciate that.

 

I'm just trying to be honest. It's really not anywhere near my favorite design. The coin itself looks like a cheap rip-off of an Aladdin's Castle gaming token. I've spent them at KFC before and the teenager behind the counter had to make sure they weren't fake.

They just look cheesy, IMHO.

 

I assume this means you have never left the USA? The euro coins look far cheesier, and they function for commerce just fine. In the end, I don't care what they put on the dollar coin as long as they stop printing the $1 paper bill.

 

Doesn't have much to do with the design, I think, but with the fact that $1 coins are hardly used in circulation in the US. Had that same Sac design made it to one of the four "familiar" denominations, that teenager would probably not have wasted a single second on checking the piece's authenticity.

Weeeellll, this is the US forum. So I'll keep my mouth shut.
