Newest arrivals from the mint to be included in my modern commems collection. While I'm satisfied with the quality I'm a tad perturbed that each one of the coins was flopping around in the individual boxes. Seems like no harm done though......... As always, thanks for lookin' and commenting and do please keep any rock throwing to a minimum.........
I’m glad you’re happy to have them and understand the continuity of your collection. They just look like “art by bureaucracy” unfortunately. It would be nice to see some real art for a change.
Shouldn't that bus read, "African American Leagues?" Sorry, and lol. I'm liking those coins a lot. My compliments to the engraver(s).
Politically correct rot can be checked at the door....my degree in college related to 'history' and I don't intend to rewrite it here in this thread.
I think the Rube Foster obverse on the $5 coin is very, very good. I like the bus on the half-dollar, too.
I'm on my best behavior from here on in, chief. But you shouldn't collect that stuff, it's raci-wooops!
I really like the half and the dollar! I don't ever keep up with what the mint is putting out anymore, but I'm half tempted to order those.
I agree, I think they kind of wiffed on the gold but the dollar and half are done quite well. Dollar just as a baseball fan you can easily appreciate and the half dollar if you took the writing off the side of the bus (which should be there as it was the Negro Leagues and even has its own museum and section in the HOF) you could easily mistake that for any lower level minor league team in the country. They did a good job of capturing the sport and aspects of it with those two.
