    Coin would have been nicer if they matched the saying to the name sake ship.

    The military medals the mint has been doing so far have been great designs. The Air Force one was a little eh but still good. They killed it on the Navy one and really liked the Coast Guard as well

    Mine came today too. Really goes to show how incompetent the design selection committees have been for other issues. When the mint makes something if an attractive design it sells quickly and if its ugly it never sells, but apparent the committees cant figure that out
