Number 6 has my vote. Got to tour Mark Twain House & Museum in Hartford, CT last year. Well worth it if anyone is in the area. I will be getting this one when it comes out. Thanks for the link.

 

#5 obv. with #7 rev.

 

12 obv.&14 rev, I always loved Mark Twain.

 

1 obverse
12 reverse

 

O8/R11

 

o02 r04

 

I hate when they use the dollar sign on coins, they look like bus tokens.

 

O14 and R12, I guess. I'm not as happy with any of them as I'd like to be.

God yes. Next they'll be putting "U.S.A." [emoji14]uke:

Take yourself seriously, write out your inscriptions.

 

The Mark Twain commemoratives were supposed to go on sale on January 14, 2016, but the US Mint pulled the silver dollars and listed the sale date as "TBD" which means sometime in the future.

Supposedly the delay in the release of the silver dollar coins is to print new certificates of authenticity (COAs) as the old ones have a mistake placing Twain's characters Huckleberry Finn and Jim in his book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, instead of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Sounds as good a reason as any.
