I'm not that found of this design. But it's still handsome. It looks like the Saqwuguea Reverse

BTW - These silvers have very reflective surfaces. See the camera in the face?

That is a great looking coin. I would LOVE for them to make that the standard circulating dollar--even if it had to be clad.

 

I agree that this would be a better circulating coin than the current Presidential design.

I like the Half better and they could use both.

Ruben

 

Totally agree. It is a fine looking coin. Even the unc. is sharp. I am glad I got both.

 

The reverse echos to the coins of the earliest days of the republic.

Me likey.

 

sorry to disappoint you mate it has 7 arrows to many for that

 

A few years ago, I wouldn't have given an UNC a second look..... but now. This coin is so darn FWB (Frosty White and Beautiful)

 

Exactly. Thats one nice looking coin.

 

i stick strictly to unc on commems(no pr for me)

 

Anyone know the composition of these coins?

 

All of our US commem dollar coins are made up with 90% silver and 10% copper. The same can be said of all half dollar commems from 84 and earlier which are made up out of the same 90/10 composition. The halves from 86 to present are made from a copper clad composition (92% copper/8% nickel) that is the same as our Kennedy halves.

Technology lets them draw more of them

The 1993 Bill of Rights half dollar commem was silver also.

 

Again a lovely coin Ruben but if I had to choose I think I would go with the half, it's those chicks you know LOL

 

Right on! Totally forgot about that. Nice catch Cloudsweeper!

 

Um, Pocahontas. See, I can do it too.

 

I think he was correcting my spelling
