ASE reverse redesign.

I'd go with #40 or #41 - I'm an eagle guy and those are EAGLES!

Why not make the denomination $20 or more, to give buyers some protection from downside pm prices?

i like #40 the best. i think that they should make the denomination $20 or $25, but adjust it for changes in PM prices

 

Okay! So he flunked English.

Count me in with the crowd that likes #40 & #41.



I don't mind if they change the reverse. Honestly, I had to pull one out in order to refresh my memory about the current reverse design. If it is that forgettable, changing it won't bother me in the least. I see no reason to change the obverse design.

 

The only thing I don't like about #40 & #41 is the "JUSTICE - INTEGRITY - SERVICE".

What a joke!

I think those words were included because the designs were for a specific commemorative coin that required them. My guess is that they would be removed if the design was adopted for the ASE reverse.

 

I certainly hope so because the government hasn't lived up to those words for decades.

FYP (fixed your post)

 

Looks like a modified 41 may be the one. Check this out

The original article clearly states that the designs were a compilation of designs for other coins that the committee had held onto because they particularly liked them. It never ceases to amaze me at the number of people who have time to comment on an article but not enough time to actually read the article.

 

The next time I'm asked to critique an article, I'll send it to you! However, the article has nothing to do with my opinion.

In the meantime, "JUSTICE - INTEGRITY - SERVICE" is still a joke.

Yes, yes...I'm trying to ignore the political aspect of your comments, as this is not the place for it. But I didn't ask you to critique the article - only to read it as a means to understand why those words - the ones that prompted you to respond in the first place - were on the coin.

 

Okay! To satisfy your complaint of my complaint, I re-read the article (Yes, re-read!) and nowhere in it does it make any mention of those three words, J-I-S. Perhaps we are reading two different articles.

Chris

 

You're correct. It doesn't mention those words. It states that the designs were compiled as unused favorites from past coin designs, and were not directly created as potential replacement designs for the ASE. That is my point. I thought I was pretty clear on that.

It's all there plain to see, but I'll recap anyway:

1. You made a comment about not liking the words associated with the US government, implying that you thought the designs were specific to the ASE.

2. Lehigh responded saying that he thought the offending words would be removed since they were designs for a prior coin, not the ASE.

3. You said that you hoped so, because using those words to describe our government is a joke (confirming that you thought they'd been designed for the ASE).

4. I pointed out that you hadn't read the article, because if you had, you'd know why the designs had seemingly unusual or unrelated design elements to them.

5. You got mad that I pointed out that you didn't read the article.

No worries - the last word on the topic will be yours if you want it. I don't really have an opinion about your opinion on the use of those words. My opinion is only that people should read articles before commenting.

 

Not that I really want to become part of this spat, but I think its good information in discussing the design. "The design modifications requested are: ... That appropriate inscriptions, to include the denomination and weight and fineness in silver, replace the inscriptions in the suggested design."

All the changes:

"That the eagle be oriented to fly slightly upward.
That the beak be modified so as not to be too close to the edge.
That renditions be produced for consideration both with and without the olive branch, and both with and without arrows.
That appropriate inscriptions, to include the denomination and weight and fineness in silver, replace the inscriptions in the suggested design."

 

I'm not mad, and I assume you're not mad. Therefore, is it safe to assume that we're both happy? LOL!

Chris

 

Spat? What spat? This was an educated discussion of meaningless facts.

Chris

 

Well said!

 

Agreed. These are recycled commemorative designs. They would need to be altered to fit an ASE if they were to be used.

 

don't forget the penny that has not changed in over a century. I really do not like any modern coins. Take lincoln off the penny take kennedy off the half dollar take roosevelt off the dime Take ALL historical figures off coins and currency in the US.

Coins & Currency should not be used as propaganda glorifying the nations presidents and founding fathers. This is why so many like the classic designs such as the barber half the morgan dollar, and the mercury dime.
