Very nice!

 

Pairing a timeless classic design to a modern is extremely difficult to pull off. This is proof of such as the artist and mint both failed. The eagle is incomplete and should have been reduced to fit, a single clasped oak branch with nothing to indicate peace (olive branch, laurel, ect.) are but a few missed opportunities at making this design work. Oh well, better luck next time.

 

Mine (rather, my son's) has supposedly been mailed. We shall see when it gets here.

 

I don’t like new mint junk but it was worth the look in this case.

 

I don't think of it as silver junk. Each of us have our own interests, why should our interests be called silver junk?

 

Super nice Eagle!

 

Mine arrived a few days ago.

 

Okay I won't.

 

I respect your opinion but think otherwise.

 

Nice ! After all it's Silver .

 

Proof Silver! West Point Mint. Super coin.

 

Dang!!!! When I saw "Mint", I was determined to pass,...but...then I read "Don't Look"...& that sealed my fate!

Didn't think it would be that nice...still not getting one...

 

Great job my friend

 

Damn click bait!!!

 

You Canadian Dave? A Canadian fellow I once knew (I think) 'coined' that term......

 

Mine is frosty.

 

Traditionally, until the Peace dollars, American eagles on coins held arrows in their left claw and olive branches in the right, which signified a preference for peace but a readiness to defend ourselves. Laurel leaves were given as signs of victory in ancient times. But they have chosen well to put a single oak branch in the eagle's claw, signifying the artist's view that we are all nuts.

 

like your thoughts Neil.

 

Meh.
