[sarcasm font]Yeah those would only cost about $300 apiece. All collectors can afford that. [/sarcasm font]
My point was, they make small cheap coins for poor collectors, and big gold ones for rich collectors. Do not complain about not making these out of copper for the poor collectors, because they do not make pennies out of gold for the rich guy. Everyone has something they can collect, who cares if there is a coin you cannot afford.

Lot's of cool designs. My favorites, but by no means the only one's I like: Obverse: 21 Reverse: 08 I also like the following: Obverse: 05, 07, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20,23 & 24 Reverse: 01, 02, 03, 09, 11, 12 & 15 I'll likely be buying a couple of them when they're released!
Some of those look like they were drawn by someone in grade school. Have we ever had a depiction of Liberty with wings? Looks like an angel to me.
Imagine that gold will be up 30% this year. If these two coins come out late this year. The price will be very high. And it can be over $2,000.00 a piece.
This is one of my least favorite obverses. Looks cartoonish (The Letters). And Lady Liberty is showing some age!
I believe this is my favorite too. One of the few designs I actually liked. Most of these are going for political correctness I believe.
Actually the LIBERTY for me is the best part of that coin. Kind of reminiscent of the patter walking liberty.
The mint stated high relief gold coin and high relief silver medal on its 2015 schedule. It does not say ultra high relief. Will that a big different?. Also the mint did not say the coin or medal is proof or uncirculated.
