Very subtle sense of humor...excellent execution and design...!!

 

Probably a Telescope or Spyglass.

 

It's gotta be. How useful is a spyglass on a moonless night?

 

Wow, I'm retarded. How did I miss that

 

Whaaat? If you blow up the image it says infrared spy glass just below his little finger.

 

telescope I believe .

 

Scopes pick up some light even in the dark, i think back in the 1700's the magnification was probably only like 2 or 3x maybe 4 but i doubt it was any higher then that, jmo

 

I hope they change the design completely and get rid of President Heads. Go back to Lady Liberty and Mercury.

 

Maybe he had Night vision Goggles or is it googles .

 

I was wondering that myself!

 

I dunno - sounds fishy to me!

 

I know - for ages it was only "fish on Fridays"! Still all in?

 

It's an improvement over past issues.

 

I like it too. It would even better if they put a little silver back in it, that would brighten the night sky wouldn't it... My opinion only. Thanks for posting the new coin. Happy New Year.

 

Even a night crossing would show light from campfires, so a telescope would be useful. Besides, maybe it was a really bright night. LOL

 

Please tell me, is it my eyes, or did the designer make the illustration DD on Washingtons face in the obverse?

 

Not like they had a choice, that's in the law.

As to @USS656 comment on the sword, it kind of looks like George stuck it out and hit the tip on the rim of the coin, slightly bending it.

 

I am okaaay with the design, like others have said I do not love it, or hate it. Glad for the change but as a Quality Control Manager that sword really bothers me. Come on, the designer should have done a much better job with such a important aspect of the scene. Your eye is drawn to it - pardon the pun - and it just looks wrong, even if I didn't already know what the original looked like. I will never be able to look at this coin in my hand and not think the mint botched it again when they were so close. A couple tweaks and I think most of the people that do not like some small aspect would have been much happier.
